Oh father save my soul
out of these heavens
the devil ain't a man
who comes when not welcome
and I've been down so long
praying for my babe
take me out of this land
I'm not right for lying here
on raintree country
raintree country
hey hey
on raintree country
and take away these cuts and scores
and bring me back home to her
oh father she waits at home
bring her this message
tell her I've lost my love
don't tell her I lie here
cause I've been down so long
praying for my babe
promise me you'll watch over her
like you never watched over me
and all my ambitions
washed up on the shores
of raintree country
raintree country
on raintree country
and wash away these cuts and sores
and bring me bring me
back home
bring me
back home.
