lyrics

I was born in the path of the winter wind
Raised where the mountains are old
Their springtime waters came dancing down
I remember the tales they told
The whistling ways of my younger days
Too quickly have faded on by
But all of my memories linger still
Like the light in a fading sky

River, take me along in your sunshine sing me your song
Ever moving and winding and free
You rolling old river, you changing old river
Let's you and me, River, run down to the sea

I've been to the city and back again
I've been moved by some things that I've learned
Met a lot of good people and called them friends
Felt the change when the seasons turned
I've learned all the songs that the children sing
Listened to love's melodies felt my own music within me rise
Like the wind in the autumn trees

River, take me along in your sunshine sing me your song
Ever moving and winding and free
You rolling old river, you changing old river,
Let's you and me, River, run down to the sea

Someday when the flowers are blooming still
Someday when the grass is still green
Our rolling waters will round the bend and flow into the open sea
So here's to the rainbows that's followed us here
And here's to the friends that we know
And here's to the song that's within us now
I will sing it where'er we go

River, take me along in your sunshine, sing me your song
Ever moving, and winding and free
You rolling old river, you changing old river
Let's you and me, River, run down to the sea

You rolling old river, you changing old river,
Let's you and me, River, run down to the sea
