Lyrics:
John the Baptizer
By the Jordan brook
Up comes this brood of vipers
Just to take a look
John says, "There's a comin' of glory
There's
Lace your heart with mine
Let your sleeping soul take flight
Take me through the night
Down, down, down by the river
Down, down, down by the river
know words sometimes have two meanings
In a tree by the brook, there's a songbird who sings
Sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven
It makes me
followed me across the seas.
Then tell me please
How are things in Glocca Morra?
Is that little brook still leaping there?
Does it still run down
I've seen the lights of gay Broadway,
Old Market Street down by the Frisco Bay,
I've strolled the Prado, I've gambled on the Bourse;
The seven
And it gets stronger, in every way (in every way)
And it gets deeper, let me say (let me say)
It gets higher, day by day (day by day)
Oh, do I love
on the Hudson River line
I'm in a New York state of mind
I've seen all the movie stars
In their fancy cars and their limousines
Been high in the Rockies
I walked down to the river, poor boy
To see the ships go by
My sweetheart stood on the deck of one
And she waved to me goodbye
Bow down your head
Here we are
Stuck by this river
You and I
Underneath a sky that's ever falling down, down, down
Ever falling down
Through the day
As if
down with the trust of a child
Did you never call? I waited for your call
These rivers of suggestion are driving me away
The trees will bend,
the moorhens cry
As the first sun quivers in the open sky,
Oh, she came down the river.
Soon, all the leaves were still.
The current was strong
Once she had drowned and started her slow descent
Down the streams to where the great rivers broaden
Oh, the open sky chant most magnificent
As if it
your way
Where hazy moonlight glowed
Way down down along Lazy River Road
Way down upon Shadowfall Ward
End of the avenue
Run, hide, seek in your own
Well a great black river a man had found
So he put all his money in a hole in the ground
And sent a big steel arm drivin' down down down
Man now I
the docks
So roll on, Columbia, roll on
And on up the river is Grand Coulee Dam
The mightiest thing ever built by a man
To run the great factories
the superhighways have disappeared one by one. and a
E towns and cities and signs are underwater now. they're gone. we're going down my the muddy river we're walking
The river come down
The river come down
River come down, I can't cross over
Why-o, why-o, why-o
I can't cross over
I wanted to go down
To the other
Seen a man standin' over a dead dog lyin' by a highway in a ditch
He's lookin' down kinda puzzled, pokin' that dog with a stick
Got his car doors
down a dream river
With you by my side
I know it's make believe
But please don't wake me
I don't mind
down
I cried I love you
I cried I love you
I cried, I cried
You may cry, oh, she may cry now, a river of tears
A river of tears for you
You may
Way down upon the Swanee river
Far far away
Swanee how I love you how I love you
My dear old Swanee
I'd give the world to be among the folks
Hang me down by the river bed
With the other dead
I will sing the whole way down
Hang me down by the river bed
With the other dead
I will die
the days
Oh, much faster pass the years by
'Til we die
Summers here we're swimming in the river
Summer rain burns holes in flowers
Dangerous hours
Dangerous
A land with brooks and rivers, springs and lakes,
Streams out of the hills and through the valleys.
