Where the River is Wider
WHERE THE RIVER IS WIDER
Where the muddy river bank
Grows green and warm and dank, I'll pray
For where the river's wider
I'm going deep inside her, some day
O! I'll throw off my shoes
Socks and shirts I'll lose, and I'll wade
And I'll be purified and blessed
and my soul will be caressed
for my heart has been undressed and remade
But not just yet
For I've not begun to fret
I'll wait a while
with this smile, like a child
Wherever it's burnt over
There's never more no clover, they say
And I'm young and I'm strong
and I think I'll get along, my way
Yes, some day I might
Hold my candle to the light, and bray
Like a stubborn old mule
Who can't but curse this life, a fool
And surrender all his liberty!
Where the muddy river bank
Grows green and warm and dank, I'll pray
For where the river's wider
I'm going deep inside her, some day
O! I'll throw off my shoes
Socks and shirts I'll lose, and I'll wade
And I'll be purified and blessed
and my soul will be caressed
for my heart has been undressed and remade
But not just yet
For I've not begun to fret
I'll wait a while
with this smile, like a child
Wherever it's burnt over
There's never more no clover, they say
And I'm young and I'm strong
and I think I'll get along, my way
Yes, some day I might
Hold my candle to the light, and bray
Like a stubborn old mule
Who can't but curse this life, a fool
And surrender all his liberty!
