The Mighty River

Well, we'd go down life's mighty river
And on down the river we'd glide
All night we'll study one another
And on through the daytime we'll glide

Ah come down, come 'round, come on down
Down to the promised land!
Come down, down 'round, come on down
Following the angel's hand

Well, we'd go down life's mighty river
Beneath stars and night's long trial
And keep on a'singing them ancient songs
While drinking deeply all the while

If our raft breaks, we'll swim down the river
If it freezes, we'll walk through ice
If night comes, we'll dodge true darkness
And ever control them dice

Well come down, come 'round, come on down
Down to the promised land
Come down, come 'round, come on down
Following the angel's hand

Soon we'll be down life's mighty river
Soon we'll have answered why
Soon we'll be to the gleamin' motherland
A'kicking it in the sky

Yeah, we'll be down life's mighty river
Past virgins, fruits, and a false god's pyre
Down to the gleamin' motherland
Of balanced earth, water, wind and fire

So come down, come 'round, come on down
Down to the promised land
Come down, come 'round, come on down
Following the angel's hand
