Lyrics:
You know I done
Told you all I know
But you can find out
For yourself
There’s a shallow grave
By the old stone wall
You best not go
Diggin’ around
Bobby loved that girl
From Rivertown
She was waiting tables
At the tavern there
Bobby loved that girl
She had an ageless smile
But her step dad, Phil
Had his way with her
Once in a while
Bobby found out
He had no choice
Something must be done
That’s how he felt
Leave the light out tonight
By the back porch swing
In the early morning
You won’t hear a thing
Sometimes all we love
When the passion is strong
Starts weighing us down
And we do what we know is wrong
He knew it was wrong
Phil went missing
Nobody looked too hard
Conventional wisdom
He was a gamblin’ man in town
They thought he must have been runnin’
From debts unpaid
They never looked
For that shallow grave
There’s a shallow grave
On the edge of town
By the old stone wall
It never was found
Bobby loved that girl
From Rivertown
Bobby loved that girl
