River, keep flowing on Past the day and dead, until the dawn And I'll walk if I can't run River, your power's to forgive Yet to find a way that I can live Given all I got to give Mama, don't you cry too long The weight's here for now, then one day it's all gone And it's the earth you'll be standing on River, keep flowing on Past the day and dead, until the dawn And I'll walk if I can't run Brother, don't you live too hard Let your wounds heal up, then grow into them scars And you can fool them with your final playing card River, keep flowing on Past the day and dead, until the dawn And I'll walk if I can't run Ah river, hey river
