I used to live by an untamed river In the spot where life was a beautiful dream A gift to man by the Almighty Giver But now, the army engineers Have turned my home to a vale of tears Where only God could ever find that lovely stream On the grassy bank of spring fed waters I washed my feet in the babbling brook My Father raised his sons and daughters And where he grew his fields of corn Went to church on Sunday morn' I can only see in mem'ries picture-book Refrain: Where oh where, where oh where is the river gone It used to sing so sweetly, from the darkness to the dawn I'd loved to see, loved to see it rolling on Oh where oh where, oh where oh where is the river gone -Solo- The flowers bloomin' in the valley All the lovely things, Mother Nature gave The sacred spot where I loved pretty Sally They are always on my mind SongtexteI know, I'll never find, for they are gone Forever to a watery grave If we could save one untamed river For the million, yet unborn to see We'd be akin to the Almighty Giver And when my race on earth was done I could face that setting sun Knowing God and all the world was proud of me Refrain: Aus Songtexte Mania
