Lyrics
Mother Big River
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
She has followed you from
Where dark water and fortune runs
When your sails come back together
She will follow you wherever you go
But still, rivers run
And running water runs so slow
Had a picture of my mother
But even mother doesn't know
Where big rivers flow
And someday I'd like to know
He has followed you down
'Neath starlight in bitter towns
Hard weeds cling to roads that
You ride on your way back home
But still, rivers run
And running water runs so slow
Had a picture of my father
But even father doesn't know
Where big rivers flow
And someday I'd like to know
