Sailing Down This Golden River Lyrics - Arlo Guthrie

words and music by Pete Seeger 

Sailng down my golden river 

Sun and water all my own 

Yet I was never alone 

Sun and water, old life givers 

l'll have them where ere I roam 

And I was not far from home 

Sunlight glancing on the water 

Life and death are all my own 

Yet I was never alone 

Life for all my sons and daughters 

Golden sparkles in the foam 

And I was not far from home 

Sailing down this winding highway 

Travelers from near and far 

And I was never alone 

Exploring all the little byways 

Sighting all the distant stars 

And I was not far from home 

Sailing down my golden river 

Sun and water all my own 

Yet I was never alone 

Sun and water, old life givers 

l'll have them where ere I roam 

And I was not far from home 

Yet I was never alone 

And I was not far from home
