Openmic week 105 original song by revdocwelch

As I post this song, I realize it hardly qualifies as a worship song, yet it is a song of confession about a thing the Bible definitely sees in a negative light. As a result, I am posting in Steemchurch and other similar places.

Proverbs 13:11 - Wealth [gotten] by vanity shall be diminished: but he that gathereth by labour shall increase.

1 Timothy 6:10 - For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.

                  Roll Muddy River Roll On

Roll muddy river roll on, roll muddy river roll on
She’s the best friend I ever had,
Had to leave her when my good luck went bad
Roll muddy river roll on, roll muddy river roll on

I used to run her up and down, I used to run her up and down,
Rapids and ripples and foam, From you I had to roam, oh
Roll muddy river roll on, roll muddy river roll on

I gambled on a river running queen,
Oh yes, I gambled on a river running queen.
Got to drinking Cause I’m so sad, Now my fingers are shaking so bad.
Roll muddy river roll on, roll muddy river roll on

I’ll never gamble there again No I’ll never gamble there again.
Gambling never got me nowhere, Lost everything, even my hair…
Roll muddy river roll on, roll muddy river roll on

Ole river she keeps rolling along, Ole river she keeps rolling along
Till the sea becomes her home, She just keeps rolling along,
Yeah roll muddy river roll on,
And I, I keep singing my song. Yeah roll muddy river roll on.
