Lyrics
Old Father Hudson
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.
Come all you bold seamen wherever you be,
And tell old Father Hudson that we'll set him free.
We have sailed on his waters so noble and deep,
But the way he's been treated, it would make your heart weep.
May the power of the people be heard on each shore
And bring old Father Hudson clear water once more.
