Oh the women 'cross the river carry water from the well at break of day 
And they talk to one another; God only knows what they might say 
You might get an education after years of dedication
You might finally get a glimpse of what is right and what is wrong 
But the women 'cross the river; well they knew that all along
 
Oh the women 'cross the river work with tools that are ancient and hand-made 
And they plow their fields in perfect rows and then they rest beneath the shade 
Now we have learned to build, out of concrete, out of steel
And our buildings stand a thousand years but then even they are bound to fall 
But the women 'cross the river never learned to build a wall
 
Oh the women 'cross the river are as gentle as the dew upon the ground 
How I love to hear them laughing in the rain when it makes that perfect sound 
Now a soldier with a gun and a battle to be won
Might kill you with a bullet and you never even know the reason why 
But the women 'cross the river; they can kill you with their eyes 
 
Oh the women 'cross the river; they can kill you with their eyes
