words and music by Pete Seeger
Sailng down my golden river
Sun and water all my own
Yet I was never alone
Sun and water, old life givers
l'll have them where ere I roam
And I was not far from home
Sunlight glancing on the water
Life and death are all my own
Yet I was never alone
Life for all my sons and daughters
Golden sparkles in the foam
And I was not far from home
Sailing down this winding highway
Travelers from near and far
And I was never alone
Exploring all the little byways
Sighting all the distant stars
And I was not far from home
Sailing down my golden river
Sun and water all my own
Yet I was never alone
Sun and water, old life givers
l'll have them where ere I roam
And I was not far from home
Yet I was never alone
And I was not far from home
