1937 |
| Darling, darling would you please |
| Come down to the river |
| Where I wash my feet |
| The water runs cold |
| Over soft blue stones |
| And the trees sing songs |
| While the wind blows on |
| Come on, sing oh |
| Sister, sister with your long face |
| Could you not find hope |
| In this green of a place |
| The worries of your world |
| Not the worries of your soul |
| We’ll drink with our friends |
| Til the sun comes up again |
| Come on, sing oh |
| Children, children we are taught to believe |
| We lose that faith, then we loose everything |
| Come on, come on with the war still going |
| We could change their minds if we sing it this time |
| Children, children will you not soon be |
| Shooting bullets in the dark just to call yourselves free |
| I don’t believe in the powers that be |
| They can claim their gods, but they steal and they rob from us |
| Are we not raised |
| Thinking money buys things that we need |
| I believe, to this day |
| Woman on the streets, whispering to her feet |
| Driven mad by a place full of noise and concrete |
| Water brings life, I ask then why |
| Do we drink our streams dry |
| Claiming all is well and right |
| I guess it is then |
| Children, children we are taught to believe |
| We lose that faith, then we loose everything |
| Come on, come on with the war still going |
| We could change their minds if we sing it this time |
| Children, children will you not soon be |
| Shooting bullets in the dark just to call yourselves free |
| I don’t believe in the powers that be |
| They can claim their gods, but they steal and they rob from us |
