Come and Sit by the River - The Country Gentlemen[00:00:00]

I can see that[00:00:13]

You're ready to go home[00:00:14]

There's some tv show that[00:00:17]

You're missing[00:00:20]

But you know[00:00:21]

How an old man loves[00:00:23]

To talk[00:00:25]

And he needs someone[00:00:26]

Who will listen[00:00:29]

Come and sit[00:00:31]

By the river[00:00:32]

With me for a while[00:00:33]

And I'll tell you a story[00:00:35]

That's true[00:00:38]

Of when I was a boy[00:00:40]

Playing here on the shore[00:00:42]

And the grass[00:00:45]

Was so green[00:00:46]

And the water[00:00:47]

So blue[00:00:48]

Well our house[00:00:51]

Stood right over there[00:00:52]

Of course they took it[00:00:55]

Down for the highway[00:00:58]

I can see my moma's tears[00:01:00]

We've been there for twenty years[00:01:02]

And you know[00:01:05]

We would still if I had my way[00:01:06]

In those days you could often[00:01:10]

Find me here[00:01:13]

With the rest of the[00:01:15]

Nieghborhood children[00:01:17]

There was so much we could do[00:01:19]

There was fishing swimming too[00:01:21]

There was always[00:01:24]

Some raft that we were building[00:01:25]

Come and sit[00:01:28]

By the river[00:01:29]

With me for a while[00:01:31]

And I'll tell you a story[00:01:33]

That's true[00:01:35]

Of when I was a boy[00:01:37]

Playing here on the shore[00:01:39]

And the grass[00:01:42]

Was so green[00:01:43]

And the water[00:01:44]

So blue[00:01:45]

Many years[00:02:00]

I have watched this river flow[00:02:01]

Rolling down[00:02:04]

From the hills to the ocean[00:02:05]

I have seen the waters high[00:02:08]

Almost fierce and rushing by[00:02:11]

I have seen in nearly dry[00:02:13]

And without motion[00:02:15]

Now at last[00:02:19]

You can see what it has come to[00:02:20]

Oh we prospered but[00:02:23]

Poisoned the waters[00:02:24]

Now the turnes have all been played[00:02:27]

And the piper must be paid[00:02:30]

Not by us[00:02:32]

But our[00:02:33]

Sons and daughters[00:02:34]

Come and sit[00:02:36]

By the river[00:02:37]

With me for a while[00:02:39]

And I'll tell you a story[00:02:41]

That's true[00:02:43]

Of when I[00:02:45]

Was a boy[00:02:46]

Playing here on the shore[00:02:48]

And the grass[00:02:50]

Was so green[00:02:51]

And the water[00:02:52]

So blue[00:02:54]

Come and sit[00:02:56]

By the river[00:02:57]

With me for a while[00:02:58]

And I'll tell you a story[00:03:00]

That's true[00:03:02]

Of when I[00:03:04]

Was a boy[00:03:06]

Playing here on the shore[00:03:07]

And the grass[00:03:09]

Was so green[00:03:10]

And the water[00:03:11]

So blue[00:03:13]
