Born of the river Born of its ever changing, never changing murky water Oh riverboat just rollin' along through the great, great greasy city Huck standing like a Saint upon its deck Well, you wanna catch a Saint, then bait ya hook, let's take a walkOh come to me, oh come to me Is what the dirty city say to Huck, Huck Saint Huck, HuckStraight in the arms of the city goes Huck Down the beckonin' streets of opportunity And a whistling his favorite river song And a bad blind nigger at the piano Puts a sinister blue lilt into that sing along Huck senses somthing's wrongSirens wail in the city And little Ulysses turn to putty And Ol' Man River's got a bone to pick And our boy's hardly got a bone to suckHe goes Saint Huck, yeah HuckThe moon, its huge cycloptic eye watches the city streets contract Twist and cripple and crack Saint Huck goes on a dog's leg now Saint Huck goes on a dog's leg nowYou know the story You wake up one morning and you find you're a thug Blowing smoke rings in some dive Ya fingers hot and itchin', ya cracking ya knuckles Ya bull neck bristling, still Huck he ventures on whistling And death reckons Huckleberry's time is upAnd Saint Huck, yeah Huck Saint HuckYonder go Huck minus pocket watch an' wallet gone Skin shrink wraps his skeleton No wonder he gets thinner what with his cold and skinny dinnersOh, Saint Huck, a Saint Elvis Huck Saint Huck, a Saint Elvis HuckAnd you recall that song you used to sing along Shifting the river trade on that ol' steamer, life is but a dreamer But ya traded in the mighty ol' man river for the dirty ol' man latrineThe brothel shift, the hustle 'n' the bustle and the green backs rustle And all the sexy cash and the randy cars and the two dollar fucks You outta luck, you outta luckSaint Huck, yeah, yeah, HuckThis is the track of deception leads to the heart of despair Huck whistles like he just don't care But in the pocket of the jacket is a chamber Lead pellets sleeps in there, wake upNow Huck whistles and he kneels and he lays down there See you Huck, good luckA smoke ring hovers above his head And the rats and the dogs and the men all come And put a bullet through his eye And the drip and the drip and the drip of the Mississippi cryin' And Saint Huck hears his old Mississippi just rollin' by himSaint Huck, Saint Huck, Saint Huck, Saint Huck Saint Huck, Saint Huck, Saint Huck, Saint Huck

From Her To Eternity — дебютный студийный альбом группы Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, изданный в 1984 году.
Название альбома является отсылкой к американской драме «Отныне и во веки веков». From Her to Eternity был чрезвычайно положительно встречен критиками, к примеру, Крис Лонг назвал его «несовершенным, висцеральным, захватывающим и, наконец, классическим».
