Lyrics:
Take me to the river set me on the sand
Underneath the tall pine tree with a cane pole in my hand
How I long to feel the comfort of the country
Call you grass
Call you wind-bent slender grass
Say you are full of grace
And grown by the river say what country
Say what river say what colour
Tell
Let's put our heads together
And start a new country up
Our father's father's father tried
Erased the parts he didn't like
Let's try to fill it
are run
And for the first time I love the morning
Burning sundown, coloured autumn trees
Mountain rivers, country livers put my mind at ease
,
Because my country is all I know.
And the rivers shall open for the righteous,
And the rivers shall open for the righteous,
And the rivers shall open
in disgrace
But by every God's name
Say your prayers for your race
Oh yeah
White man, White man
Our country was green and all our rivers wide
Cries of a country
Swell the rivers of blood
Eyes of a sentinel
Survey their every move
Starving people fed on lies
Propaganda is the tool
Kill
the country
Where the pine trees grow so tall
Walk across that old log bridge
Stretching 'cross Black River Swamp
I can hear them bullfrogs croaking
In
river bottom low
And my heart feels rain and it seems these days that I'm
Drivin' down a country road, singin' sad songs I know
I'll get over her, but
Goin' back right through the city
through the country, rivers so pretty
People wonder why I'm going back home
Just the place where I belong
Back
I'll tell the world the water,
Done crept through this town
Lord, the whole round country,
Lord, river has overflowed
Lord, the whole round
on the bend
On the Etowah River
Where the water washed away the bridge
Cotton Mouth Country
(Ko-ko Joe)
A river rat's knee high
(Ko-ko Joe)
Way up
of fire came down upon the wagons
A mother screamed and every soul was lost
Change hit the country like a thunderstorm
Ancient rivers soon began
a cost
A rain of fire came down upon the wagons
A mother screamed and every soul was lost.
Change hit the country like a thunderstorm
Ancient rivers
Queen of the country won't you take me home
Queen of the country where the river flows
Queen of the country like my father used to know
Queen
And the rivers shall open for the righteous...
And the rivers shall open for the righteous...
And the rivers shall open for the righteous someday...
as the golden break of day
And I was brought up dreamin' and believing
That's country and there ain't no better way
That's country as a bullfrog on the river
I am a mountain , I am a tall tree, oh
I am a swift wind sweepin' the country
I am a river down in the valley, oh
I am a vision and I can see
I am a mountain
I am a tall tree
ohhhhh
I am a swift wind sweeping the country
I am a river down in the valley
ohhhhh
I'm a vision and I can see
Almost Heaven, West Virginia
Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah River
Life is old there, older than the trees
Younger than the mountains, growin'
I am a mountain, I am a tall tree
Oh, I am a swift wind, sweeping the country
I am a river down in the valley
Oh, I'm a vision and I can see clearly
I am a mountain
I am a tall tree, oh
I am a swift wind
Sweeping the country
I am a river
Down in the valley, oh
I am a vision
And I can see
I'll tell the world the water,
Done crept through this town
Lord, the whole round country,
Lord, river has overflowed
Lord, the whole round country
mercy on a country boy
Well, they damned the river, they damned the stream
They cut down the Cyprus and the Sweetgum trees
There's a laundromat
