Lyrics
River
words and music by H Olson 2008/2020
We walked along this river
watch the water rushin to the sea
Looking across we see her
My hearts hurt oh what it could mean
Oh River Oh Oh River I know you’ll the truth
Oh River Oh River please tell me what to do
The river narrows as its shallows
Where we all stand with wetted feet
Seeing you wonder bout that other side
Oh how she could taste oh so sweet
Oh River Oh Oh River I know you’ll the truth
Oh River Oh River please tell me what to do
At the rivers birth it’s just a tiny little creek
Starting its journey to be great
The choice is upon you and you will decide
You and me and her to seal our fate
You step across that trickle and you take her by her hand
I hope this choice you make will make you better man
A single tear will fall as I pray for your minds peace
I’ll follow the river as it takes me out to sea
Oh River Oh Oh River I know you’ll the truth
Oh River Oh River please tell me what to do
Oh River Oh Oh River Why I am on my own
Oh River Oh River please tell me where to go
Oh River Oh Oh River will you carry me
Oh River Oh River wash me out to sea
