《Come and Sit by the River》歌词

[00:00:00] Come and Sit by the River - The Country Gentlemen

[00:00:13] I can see that

[00:00:14] You're ready to go home

[00:00:17] There's some tv show that

[00:00:20] You're missing

[00:00:21] But you know

[00:00:23] How an old man loves

[00:00:25] To talk

[00:00:26] And he needs someone

[00:00:29] Who will listen

[00:00:31] Come and sit

[00:00:32] By the river

[00:00:33] With me for a while

[00:00:35] And I'll tell you a story

[00:00:38] That's true

[00:00:40] Of when I was a boy

[00:00:42] Playing here on the shore

[00:00:45] And the grass

[00:00:46] Was so green

[00:00:47] And the water

[00:00:48] So blue

[00:00:51] Well our house

[00:00:52] Stood right over there

[00:00:55] Of course they took it

[00:00:58] Down for the highway

[00:01:00] I can see my moma's tears

[00:01:02] We've been there for twenty years

[00:01:05] And you know

[00:01:06] We would still if I had my way

[00:01:10] In those days you could often

[00:01:13] Find me here

[00:01:15] With the rest of the

[00:01:17] Nieghborhood children

[00:01:19] There was so much we could do

[00:01:21] There was fishing swimming too

[00:01:24] There was always

[00:01:25] Some raft that we were building

[00:01:28] Come and sit

[00:01:29] By the river

[00:01:31] With me for a while

[00:01:33] And I'll tell you a story

[00:01:35] That's true

[00:01:37] Of when I was a boy

[00:01:39] Playing here on the shore

[00:01:42] And the grass

[00:01:43] Was so green

[00:01:44] And the water

[00:01:45] So blue

[00:02:00] Many years

[00:02:01] I have watched this river flow

[00:02:04] Rolling down

[00:02:05] From the hills to the ocean

[00:02:08] I have seen the waters high

[00:02:11] Almost fierce and rushing by

[00:02:13] I have seen in nearly dry

[00:02:15] And without motion

[00:02:19] Now at last

[00:02:20] You can see what it has come to

[00:02:23] Oh we prospered but

[00:02:24] Poisoned the waters

[00:02:27] Now the turnes have all been played

[00:02:30] And the piper must be paid

[00:02:32] Not by us

[00:02:33] But our

[00:02:34] Sons and daughters

[00:02:36] Come and sit

[00:02:37] By the river

[00:02:39] With me for a while

[00:02:41] And I'll tell you a story

[00:02:43] That's true

[00:02:45] Of when I

[00:02:46] Was a boy

[00:02:48] Playing here on the shore

[00:02:50] And the grass

[00:02:51] Was so green

[00:02:52] And the water

[00:02:54] So blue

[00:02:56] Come and sit

[00:02:57] By the river

[00:02:58] With me for a while

[00:03:00] And I'll tell you a story

[00:03:02] That's true

[00:03:04] Of when I

[00:03:06] Was a boy

[00:03:07] Playing here on the shore

[00:03:09] And the grass

[00:03:10] Was so green

[00:03:11] And the water

[00:03:13] So blue
