lyrics

Water o Wide

O swift bright water o water o wide
Carry my bones t’were all my folks lie
In a dark mountain valley by a dark mountain stream
Where some stories end and all stories begin

There’s a thousand souls wanderin‘ in the valley below
Caught in wolf and bear bodies, leave no tracks on the snow
If you ever go huntin‘ in this valley below
Mind your gun not to shoot one of these poor wanderin souls

There’ll come a time when these wanderin souls
Will come down from the mountains and cross-breed with dogs
And their names will float down the riverrun

What has been passed down that has to be done...

Oh swift bright water o water o wide
Carry my bones t’were all my folks lie
In a dark mountain valley by a dark mountain stream

Where some stories end and all stories begin...
