Let that river roar
Cutting through the valley floor
Let that river roar
Cutting through the valley floor
River hold me tight
River hold me deep
Valley open up it's arms
In the river it will keep
Mama told me child
Mama told me true
Stay upon that river bank
'Fore the water catches you
Let that river roar
Cutting through the valley floor
Let that river roar
Cutting through the valley floor
River hold me tight
River hold me deep
Valley open up it's arms
In my soul it will keep
Mama cried oh child
Mama cried oh please
Carry me from Tennessee
All the way to Cherokee
Let that river roar
Cutting through the valley floor
Let that river roar
Cutting through the valley floor
Let that river road
Cutting through the valley floor
Let that river roar
Cutting through the valley floor
Let that river roar
Cutting through the valley floor
Let that river roar
Cutting through the valley floor
