Saint Anthony - Jayber Crow[00:00:00]

Well the Mississippi's mighty wound[00:00:00]

Cut through the city of Minneapolis[00:00:05]

Still saints singing hallelu[00:00:09]

The city's staunch and sanctimonious[00:00:12]

O Saint Paul sing O Saint Paul[00:00:24]

You used to be a waterfall[00:00:27]

Eleven thousand years ago[00:00:33]

One hundred seventy-five feet tall[00:00:37]

And the words by which the valley[00:00:43]

Took it's shape were made by faith[00:00:46]

A sacrifice of stone[00:00:51]

And wat'ry patience of a saint[00:00:53]

Saint Anthony Saint Anthony[00:01:04]

Saint Peter set stone at your feet[00:01:08]

Crawling on broken limestone knees[00:01:14]

Toward martyrdom that waits upstream[00:01:18]

Timber flour and wool[00:01:24]

Pray that you stay[00:01:26]

Pray that you stay[00:01:28]

Tip their dusty heads[00:01:32]

Beneath your sacred shining spray[00:01:34]

Modern miracles beatify and canonize[00:01:40]

Still you turn to run upriver where[00:01:47]

You're sure to die[00:01:52]

Eastman tunnel's crumbling[00:02:01]

River's swallowing everything we're throwing in[00:02:11]

Army engineers robe you in steel[00:02:18]

Robe you in stone[00:02:23]

Bury you alive beneath the river's bridled flow[00:02:26]

Father Hennepin[00:02:34]

Have you not seen[00:02:36]

Have you not seen[00:02:38]

Throw your patron saint to find[00:02:41]

Our lost Saint Anthony[00:02:44]

Whoa[00:02:51]
