Beyond the River Bend Songtext
von Hazel Dickens

There′s a path that leads back through my memories
And how often I've walked it these days
Where I find sweet peace among the flowers
On the grassy banks beyond the river bend


But it′s only a memory
Yes, it's only a memory, my friend
Yes, it's only a memory
I can never go back home again
Down by the river
Down by the old river bend
Down by the river
The sweet fragrance of flowers wind

Oh, it seems life′s troubles and trials
Get harder and harder to mend
Oh, how sweet it would be to sit down
On the grassy banks beyond the river bend


But it′s only a memory
Yes, it's only a memory, my friend
Yes, it′s only a memory
I can never go back home again
Down by the river
Down by the old river bend
Down by the river
The sweet fragrance of flowers wind
