River Man
All the barges stroll past that Embarrass Portage
For fuel or for mail stop at the lodge
Northern muskrat love, delta deep in your heart
Quatre Fourche push and pull ripped it apart
From your people it comes
The fire in your blood
Soul shapes from the land
Through the Athabasca mud
It's a river rat life so the story be told
The river man don't ever get old
You got the furs of a plenty, trapline mainstay
They got oil from the ground, that's what they say
People will be coming, coming to stay
Our mother she gives, under mother we lay
From your people it comes
The fire in your blood
Soul shapes from the land
Through the Athabasca mud
River rat life, story be told
The river man never get old
When the water on the land turns hard into shield
It's a Cambrian tower takes you in with eyes peeled
When her ice starts to build, reach out her arms
Flow sets for the winter, winterous charms
From your people it comes
The fire in your blood
Soul shapes from the land
Through the Athabasca mud
River rat life, story be told
The river man never grow old

In your blood
Don't ever get old
For fuel or for mail stop at the lodge
Northern muskrat love, delta deep in your heart
Quatre Fourche push and pull ripped it apart
From your people it comes
The fire in your blood
Soul shapes from the land
Through the Athabasca mud
It's a river rat life so the story be told
The river man don't ever get old
You got the furs of a plenty, trapline mainstay
They got oil from the ground, that's what they say
People will be coming, coming to stay
Our mother she gives, under mother we lay
From your people it comes
The fire in your blood
Soul shapes from the land
Through the Athabasca mud
River rat life, story be told
The river man never get old
When the water on the land turns hard into shield
It's a Cambrian tower takes you in with eyes peeled
When her ice starts to build, reach out her arms
Flow sets for the winter, winterous charms
From your people it comes
The fire in your blood
Soul shapes from the land
Through the Athabasca mud

The river man never grow old

Don't ever get old
