Only a River |
| Well, I was born up in the mountains |
| Raised up in a desert town |
| And I never saw the ocean |
| Till I was close to your age now |
| Oh Shanondoah, I long to see you |
| Hey hey hey, your rolling river |
| Oh Shanondoah, I long to see you |
| Hey hey hey, only a river gonna make things right |
| Only a river gonna make things right |
| Only a river gonna make things right |
| I’m going back to San Angelo |
| The ground is hard and the count is dry |
| But I’m gonna get my fill somehow |
| Rivers of corn, and wheat and rye |
| Oh Shanondoah, I long to see you |
| Hey hey hey, your rolling river |
| Oh Shanondoah, I long to see you |
| Hey hey hey, only a river gonna make things right |
| Only a river gonna make things right |
| Only a river gonna make things right |
| Oh Shanondoah, I long to see you |
| Hey hey hey, your rolling river |
| Oh Shanondoah, I long to see you |
| Hey hey hey, only a river gonna make things right |
| Only a river gonna make things right |
| Only a river gonna make things right |
| Now, red, red, river bowing |
| Will she remember all the things we said? |
| And what’s the chance that she’ll remember |
| All those nights in the riverbed? |
| Oh Shanondoah, I long to see you |
| Hey hey hey, your rolling river |
| Oh Shanondoah, I long to see you |
| Hey hey hey, only a river gonna make things right |
| Only a river gonna make things right |
| Only a river gonna make things right |
