Lyrics:
Well I'm going down to that wishkah river
I ain't never comin' back
Bow river risen gonna flood this valley
Jump on them railroad tracks
I was
Three years round the mountain yonder
Goes the old fox treading wonder
Cross the great river - not yet there
Sense every change in the evening air
FOX RIVER BLUES
by Chad Staehly
Gray skies, railroad tracks
Down by the river smoking cigarettes
Putting all that copper on the railroad track
Big
Up near Moolieve Mountain, where the winds blow wild and free
Where the Kilkeel River makes its way down to the sea
The misty Mourne Mountains there
started to sing
Ride on my friends until we say goodbye
To the black valley railroad line
They call me an angel but I'm no angel
When the clouds came
(Bill Fries, Chip Davis)
We is screamin' through the valley
Where the Nishnabotna flows
Through the mud and crud and cornfields
Where
One day shots rang across the peaceful valley
God was crying tears that fell like rain
Before the railroad came from Kansas City
And the bullets
One day shots rang out in the peaceful valley
God was crying tears that fell like rain
Before the railroad came from Kansas City
And the bullets
There's a Welcome sign for the county line
Planted right where the river bends
There's a railroad bridge where the shoulder ends
The kids would swim
the sweets, I hear, are growing on the trees
Gold comes rushing out the rivers straight into your hands
When you make your home in the American land
and the rivers
And the valleys can't compare
To your blue lit dancin' eyes
And yellow shining hair
I could never hit the open road
And leave you layin' there
If I could go down now while the whole town is sleeping, see the sun creeping up on the hill,
I know the river and the railroad would run through
Stated out workin' in the summertime
On the docks of the Mississippi Valley Barge Line
Stokin' towboats on those long hot days
Getting' half days
call to me
Close your eyes i'll be here in the morning
Close your eyes i'll be here for a while
All the mountains and the rivers
And the valleys can't
Than the highways call to me
All the mountains and the rivers
And the valleys can't compare
To your blue lit dancin' eyes
And yellow shining hair
the sweets, I hear, are growing on the trees
Gold comes rushing out the river straight into your hands
If you make your home in the American land
There's
The Fox River water system got me driven
Bike swiftness, my fitness
Was Orchard Valley range picking, three
Month stay with it, kinda hated it
‘cause it’s
From brick walls and bridges
We were rolling over ridges
Through valleys
Under stars
I dream of touring like Duke Ellington
In my own railroad
waited for a climb
They'd dug a tunnel through the center of the stone
And with the excess rock, well the valley became landfill
Where once you'd had
the railroad that follows the river that follows this funereal force
To the Wan's Wandersee funeral home
Where they've scrawled Goth is dead on the side
2, 3, 4
Suppose the world was not informed
By real estate or power lines?
The hidden river of my life pursued by love
The whispering stone,
you slaughtered on the railroad tracks
He's an honest Christopher Columbus, he wins but doesn't hang plaques
His face is on a dime and you still aint
Fight Struggle Overcome Trouble (Rumors of a war)
First tales told
Were what Ancients wrote
Ages ago during the days old
When the Nile Valley sank
Close your eyes
I'll be here in the morning
Close your eyes
I'll be here for a while
All the mountains and the rivers and the valleys can't compare
