Country Gentlemen (The)
Come and Sit by the River
I could see that you're ready to go homeThere's some TV shows that you're missingBut you know how an old love loves to talkAnd he needs someone who will listen Come and sit by the river with me for a while And I'll tell you a story that's true Of when I was a boy playing here on the shore And the grass was so green and the water so blueWell our house stood right over thereOf course they took it down for the highwayI can see my moma's tears, we've been there for twenty yearsAnd you know we would still if I had my wayIn those days you could often find me hereWith the rest of the nieghborhood childrenThere was so much we could do, there was fishin' swimmin' tooThere was always some raft that we were buildingLetras de canciones * RefrainMany years I have watched this river flowRolling down from the hills to the oceanI have seen the waters high, almost fierce and rushing byI have seen in nearly dry and without motionNow at last you can see what it has come toOh we prospered but poisoned the watersNow the turnes have all been played and the piper must be paidNot by us but our sons and daughters
