My Dirty Stream (The Hudson River Song)-Pete Seeger[00:00:01]
Sailing down my dirty stream[00:00:06]
Still I love it and I'll keep the dream[00:00:11]
That some day though maybe not this year[00:00:17]
My Hudson River will once again run clear[00:00:23]
It starts high in the mountains of the north[00:00:29]
Crystal clear and icy trickles forth[00:00:35]
With just a few floating wrappers of chewing gum[00:00:40]
Dropped by some hikers to warn of things to come[00:00:46]
At Glens Falls five thousand honest hands[00:00:53]
Work at the consolidated paper plant[00:00:58]
Five million gallons of waste a day[00:01:04]
Why should we do it any other way [00:01:08]
Down the valley one million toilet chains[00:01:14]
Find my Hudson so convenient place to drain[00:01:20]
And each little city says "Who me [00:01:26]
Do you think that sewage plants come free "[00:01:31]
Out in the ocean they say the water's clear[00:01:37]
But I live right at Beacon here[00:01:43]
Half way between the mountains and sea[00:01:49]
Tacking to and fro this thought returns to me[00:01:54]
Well it's Sailing up my dirty stream[00:02:00]
Still I love it and I'll dream[00:02:06]
That some day though maybe not this year[00:02:11]
My Hudson and my country will run clear[00:02:16]
