Lyrics

I was born in the path of the winter wind
Raised where the mountains are old
The 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 their memories linger on
Like a light in the 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 I've called them friends
Felt the change when the seasons turn
I've heard all the songs that the children sing
And listened to love's melodies
And felt my own music within me rise
Like a 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
My rolling waters will round the bend
And flow into the open sea
So here's to the rainbow that followed me here
And here's to the friends that I know
And here's to the song that's within me now
I will sing it wherever I 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
