The River Hymn - The Band (乐队)[00:00:00]

The ladies would put the baskets on the table[00:00:26]

And the men would sit beneath a shady tree[00:00:34]

The children would listen to a fable[00:00:42]

While something else came through to me[00:00:49]

The river got no end[00:00:56]

Just roll around the bend[00:01:01]

Then pretty soon the women would all join in[00:01:06]

On the river hymn[00:01:15]

The whole congregation was standing[00:01:21]

On the banks of the river[00:01:25]

We are gathered here to give a little[00:01:31]

Thanks thanks[00:01:37]

The voice of the rapids will echo[00:01:44]

And ricochet like an old water well[00:01:52]

Who d ever want to let go[00:01:58]

Once you sit beneath it's spell[00:02:05]

It's dark and wide and deep[00:02:12]

Towards the sea it creeps[00:02:17]

I'm so glad I brought along my mandolin[00:02:22]

To play the river hymn[00:02:30]

You can ride on it or drink it[00:02:38]

Poison it or dam it[00:02:44]

Fish in it and wash in it[00:02:48]

Swim in it and you can die in it[00:02:53]

Run you river run[00:02:56]

Son you ain't never seen yourself[00:03:05]

No crystal mirror[00:03:16]

Can show it clear[00:03:19]

Come over here instead[00:03:21]

Son you ain't never eased yourself[00:03:24]

'Til you laid it down in a river bed[00:03:34]

If you hear a lonesome drone[00:03:42]

It's as common as a stone[00:03:48]

And gets louder[00:03:52]

As the day grows dim[00:03:55]

That's the river hymn[00:04:01]

The whole congregation was standing[00:04:08]

On the banks of the river[00:04:12]

We are gathered here to give a little thanks thanks[00:04:17]
