Can you hear the Clarence river singing Sing it out, the sweet, sweet freedom song And it beckons us to come Yeah, it beckons us to come along Come along Come on girls, we got to jump into the river Get away from the tones of the white-man balls But we gotta be strong Yeah, we got to be strong to call us Pass everyone Now we've never felt apart I'm a mother and a wife My kids can grow up big and strong We plan all the place where we belong Where we belong And I remember when three girls cross this river From that island that now seems so small When they enter the river Or when they enter the river's call Got to get away from it all Away from those men Changing my horses Taking whips now and the after Until they were brought to run And jump into the river And the swam Up in the billy river When they enter the river Or when they enter the river's call Come girl, we got to jump into the river (can't get away, into the river) Come on girl, we got to jump into the river (river) Come on girl, we got to jump into the river (I got to get away) Come on girl, we got to jump into the river (come on honey) Come on girl, we got to jump into the river Come on girl, we got to jump into the river Come on girl, we got to jump into the river
