Monongahela River
Some get put in prison
Others put themselves in one
Pittsburgh, you're the living proof
Some kill themselves living
Others get killed for trying, trying hard
They kill the ones who break the rule
Row me down, row me down
Monongahela River
Water down the city's gloom
Oh the lamplight is frozen
On windows and Sundays
So we never see the darkest room
But the heartfire is burning
And I keep praying one day
We will see the light of truth
Row me down, row me down
Monongahela River
Water down the city's gloom
Row your boat to the shore
Monongahela River
Isn't water anymore
Some get put in prison
Other put themselves in one
Pittsburgh, you're the living proof
Others put themselves in one
Pittsburgh, you're the living proof
Some kill themselves living
Others get killed for trying, trying hard
They kill the ones who break the rule
Row me down, row me down
Monongahela River
Water down the city's gloom
Oh the lamplight is frozen
On windows and Sundays
So we never see the darkest room
But the heartfire is burning
And I keep praying one day
We will see the light of truth
Row me down, row me down
Monongahela River
Water down the city's gloom
Row your boat to the shore
Monongahela River
Isn't water anymore
Some get put in prison
Other put themselves in one
Pittsburgh, you're the living proof
