Angeline Ball - Holding On

Take her to the river and wash her black soul again
Dip her in the water and let her feel whole again
Tried as she might to be a good girl you see
There’s a devil down deep inside
He won’t let her be

She’s holding, She’s holding, She’s holding on She’s holding, She’s holding, She’s holding on

Put her in the water again once is not enough
Hold her down steady and strong she can take it tough Been out on the town again flaunting all her wares Wedding vows broken in two like as if she cares

She’s holding (river), She’s holding, She’s holding on (take her) She’s holding (river), She’s holding, She’s holding on (river)

Tell your brother and your papa too that they best beware Dancing round town getting loose letting down her hair Kissing all the strangers in town for her Gin and jewels There’s a devil down deep inside and he’s on the loose

She’s holding (river), She’s holding, She’s holding on (take her) She’s holding (river), She’s holding, She’s holding on (take her)

Mmmmmm

Brother and your papa too that they best beware
Dancing round town getting loose letting down her hair Kissing all the stagers in town for her Gin and jewels There’s a devil down deep inside and he’s on the loose

She’s holding, She’s holding, She’s holding on (take her)
She’s holding (river), She’s holding, She’s holding on (take her)

Take her to the river and wash her black soul again
Take her to the river and wash her black soul again
Take her to the river and wash her black soul again
Take her to the river and wash her black soul again
