lyrics

Young boy runnin’ by the river
By the river he does run
Young boy playin’ by the river
Barefoot wadin’ in the morning sun

He don’t hear his mama callin’
Carryin’ down the wind
He don’t hear the water fallin’
Up the river where the river begin

And the river roll by
And the river roll by

Young man walkin’ by the river
River bend and river run
Young girl with him by the river
Hand in hand in the noonday sun

They don’t hear the rapids runnin’
White water undertow
So they move on down the river
Water ebb and water flow

And the river roll by
And the river roll by
And the river roll by
And the river roll by

Old man sittin’ by the river
Where the river’s race is run
Old man restin’ by the river
Starin’ into the setting sun

Turns his eyes across the river
To the bank on the other side
Sees a young boy runnin’ by the river
The water is deep….. and the water is wide

And the river roll by
And the river roll by
And the river roll by
And the river roll by
