From the recording Bluegrass & Roses
An original tune reminiscent of a traditional ballad who's story transpired in the Red River Gorge. With haunting lyrics and an eerily sweet melody Down At The Gorge is sure to cross your mind next time you're in the Red River area of Kentucky.
Lyrics
We went down to the Red River
Where it’s deep and wide
There my life changed forever
When my lover died
No one knows why he took that leap
It’s one secret the gorge will always keep
They went down to the Red River
With kerosene and bloodhounds
Seems like they searched forever
But nothing was ever found
No one knows why he took that leap
It’s one secret the gorge will always keep
Oh, such a tragedy
For love to end this way
A haunting memory
As I watched him fall, fall, fall away
Break
I went down to the Red River
Now I have blood on my hands
Left him there in the gorge forever
One push bad romance
No one knows why he took that leap
It’s one secret the gorge will always keep
Yes, the gorge will always keep
This secret safe…for me
