River Songtext
von Liam Clancy

River, take me along
In your sunshine, sing me a song
Ever moving and winding and free
You′re rolling old river
You're changing old river
Let′s you and me river
Run down to the sea

I was born in the path of the winter wind
Raised where the mountains are old
Their springtime waters came dancing down
I remember the tales they told
And the whistling ways of my younger days
How quickly they faded on by
But all of their memories linger on
Like the light in a fading sky


River, take me along
In your sunshine, sing me a song
Ever moving and winding and free
You're rolling old river
You're changing old river
Let′s you and me river
Run down to the sea

Oh I′ve been to the city and back again
I've been moved by some things that I′ve learned
Met a lot of good people and I've called them friends
Felt the change when the seasons turn
I′ve learned all the songs that the people sing
And listened to love's melodies
I′ve felt my own music within me rise
Like the wind in the autumn trees

River, take me along
In your sunshine, sing me a song
Ever moving and winding and free
You're rolling old river
You're changing old river
Let′s you and me river
Run down to the sea


And it′s river, take me along
In your sunshine, sing me a song
Ever moving and winding and free
You're rolling old river
You′re changing old river
Let's you and me river
Run down to the sea
