The River Hymn
Lyricist:Robbie Robertson
The ladies would put the baskets on the table And the men would sit beneath a shady tree The children would listen to a fable While something else came through to me
The river got no end Just roll around the bend Then pretty soon the women would all join in On the river hymn
The whole congregation was standing On the banks of the river We are gathered here To give a little thanks thanks
The voice of the rapids will echo And ricochet like an old water well Who'd ever want to let go Once you sit beneath its spell
It's dark and wide and deep Towards the sea it creeps Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com I'm so glad I brought along my mandolin To play the river hymn
You can ride on it or drink it Poison it or damn it fish in it and wash in it Swim in it and you can die in it Run you river, run
Son, you ain't never seen yourself No crystal mirror can show it clear come over here instead Son, you ain't never eased yourself Till you laid it down in a river bed
If you hear a lonesome drone It's as common as a stone And gets louder as the day grows dim That's the river hymn
The whole congregation was standing On the banks of the river We are gathered here To give a little thanks thanks
