Verse 2     River going to take me, sing sweet and sleepy,

sing me sweet and sleepy all the way back home.

It's a far gone lullaby, sung many years ago.

Mama, mama many worlds I've come since I first left home.

Goin' home, goin' home, by the riverside I will rest my bones,

Listen to the river sing sweet songs, to rock my soul.

 

Verse 3     Going to plant a weeping willow,

On the bank's green edge it will, grow, grow, grow.

Sing a lullaby beside the water, Lovers come and go, the river roll, roll, roll.

Fare you well, fare you well, I love you more than words can tell,

Listen to the river sing sweet songs, to rock my soul.
