Lyrics to Peace Frog by The Doors

There's blood in the streets, it's up to my ankles
She came
There's blood on the streets, it's up to my knee
She came
Blood on the streets in the town of Chicago
She came
Blood on the rise, it's following me
Think about the break of day

She came and then she drove away
Sunlight in her hair

She came
Blood in the streets runs a river of sadness She came
Blood in the streets it's up to my thigh She came
Yeah the river runs red down the legs of the city
She came
The women are crying rivers of weepin'

She came into town and then she drove away
Sunlight in her hair

Indians scattered on dawn's highway bleeding
Ghosts crowd the young child's fragile eggshell mind

Blood in the streets in the town of New Haven
Blood stains the roofs and the palm trees of Venice
Blood in my love in the terrible summer
Bloody red sun of fantastic L.A.

Blood screams the pain as they chop off her fingers
Blood will be born in the birth of a nation
Blood is the rose of mysterious union

There's blood in the streets, it's up to my ankles
Blood in the streets, it's up to my knee
Blood in the streets in the town of Chicago
Blood on the rise, it's following me

The Lizard King says Peace Frog.

Big River Lyrics

Now, I taught a weeping willow how to cry,

and I showed the clouds how to cover up a clear blue sky.

And the tears that I cried for that woman

are gonna flood you, Big River.

And I'm gonna sit right here until I die.

I met her accidentally in St. Paul, Minnesota,

and it tore me up every time I heard her drawl, southern drawl.

Then I heard my dream went back downstream, cavorting in Davenport.

And I followed you, Big River, when you called.

Then you took me to St. Louis later on, down the river.

A freighter said she's been here, but she's gone, boy, she's gone.

I found her trail in Memphis, but she just walked up the bluff.

She raised a few eyebrows and then she went on down alone.

Now, won't you batter down Baton Rouge? River Queen, roll it on.

Take that woman on down to New Orleans, New Orleans.

Go on, I've had enough; dump my blues down in the gulf.

She loves you, Big River, more then me.

Now, I taught a weeping willow how to cry,

and I showed the clouds how to cover up a clear blue sky.

And the tears that I cried for that woman

are gonna flood you, Big River.

And I'm gonna sit right here until I die.

"Big River" Video Performances

Below you can watch and listen to Johnny Cash Performing "Big River."

One from the 1960s and one from the 1990s.





Here's Johnny on the Grand Ole Opry in 1962.

"A tour of the whole South ... wonderful!"





Here is Johnny performing Big River at a festival in of all places, Denmark. Which seems a bit of a curious juxtaposition
but I'm sure Danes like music of all types as just as much as any other country.
