That Song About The River Lyrics - Don Williams

(Charles John Quarto, Steve Gillette) 

I have seen the paddle wheelers 

Rolling south on a summers' day. 

I've seen the lovers at the guardrails 

With stars in their lemonade 

And I've heard the hobo's gather, 

Heard their banjo's brace the blade. 

Heard them sing about the river, 

Called it the lazy man's parade. 

Sing me that song about the river, 

Green going away. 

You know I always did feel like a drifter 

'Bout this time of day.

Last night I stood by the highway, 

Pretended I was on my way. 

You know a hundred thousand headlights 

Couldn't match the milky way 

And when the moonlight touches the water, 

Surely somethin' touches me 

And I go reachin' for the river 

Like it's reachin' for the sea. 

So, Sing me that song about the river, 

Green going away. 

You know I always did feel like a drifter 

'Bout this time of day. 

Somethings go on forever 

But truth don't ever stray. 

The wind may brush the water 

But the river won't persuade.
