[Verse 1] Down at the river where the dead reeds blow Hid a hum it's sweet n blow by storm direction boatman swingin a blade n singin bout gold n grinnin he say, “Pay up now boy, or you ain't comin” [Pre-Chorus] I stared, “I ain’t got no gold, so if I ain't comin?” Man on the blade in the boat went laughin. [Chorus] Oh no, Charon, ya can't go home. So ya better set to stealin that gold from someone. You can't drown, wait for long, Or even sit and sigh, you don't belong here. [Verse 2] Come a man with a crown of snakes n thorns Eyes like blindin chunks of rusting fool's gold starin at the gates, n back at me a grin Said, “Can't go back and can't go in, can't stay here. a damn predicament. What cha gonna do then? Parlay?” [Pre-Chorus] Every word was cursed and sweet, sellin tryin, lyin thievery, but I ain’t never been much a tha kine a sneak thief. [Chorus] Oh no, Charon, ya can't go home. So ya better set to stealin that gold from someone. You can't drown, wait for long, Or even sit and sigh, you don't belong here. [Bridge] The Devel back from georgia in this foul black mood, he bristled with a rosewood fiddle, didn't match his suit. Said "If you play my fiddle son.." But "Fiddle on, I can't play none. Less ya got a banjo I am just a boatless bum" [Break] (fiddle+ low harmony hums + cello) [Bridge 2] Dark one cut his eyes and sighed, to size me up. Handed over such a banjo, and it hissed at me, then spit and it opened its eyes. [Screamed] My name is Chaos!!! And ya betta not, funk this up! [Solo] [Dueling Fiddle and Banjo] Fiddle: [Aggressive Fiddle Solo as a starter and a challenge to the banjo.] Banjo: [More Aggressive Banjo Solo, with changes between shuffle feel and driving finger-picked triplets.] [Final Chorus] Oh row, Charon, row me home To the place where the wild things roam If I’m gone, don’t carve no stone Just sing me down where the lost souls go [Outro: Banjo and Metal guitar heavy metal solo with a driving tempo] [Hyper aggressive banjo solo, with the chops to defeat the devil] [Melodic and soft epilogue] Devil said: "now, ya just I must admit, bought ya-self a shitty boat ride and a banjo likes to drink."
