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.

Gathered by the riverside

the current pulls 100 years

each way

savin' souls and singin' songs

They beg and smile, but

murder just the same

watch me slip into the trees

breakin' brush past darkness

and the cold

gray crosses mark the ridge

reached her grave and fell

down in the snow

that's when I dreamed

that I was Rebecca Wild

that's when I dreamed who she was

who she was

Rebecca stood in the union hall

said: "your hands are weak from

holdin' on too strong"

that was the lost night she ever spoke

a company man, he drove

her off the road

that's when I dreamed that

I was Rebecca Wild

that's when I dreamed who she was

who she was

that's when I dreamed that

I was Rebecca Wild

that's when I dreamed who she was

last night I dreamed that

I was Rebecca Wild

last night I dreamed who she was

Rebecca Wild
