| Down along the riverside
|
| I looked across the water deep and wide
|
| There I saw a fire burn
|
| A line of flames no matter where you’d turn
|
| Well, something told me I should wait
|
| You cross right now, I’d meet my awful fate
|
| If I stayed and heeded it’s call
|
| Well, either way I’d go, I’d risk it all
|
| Go on, and face the fiery flames
|
| Stay still, and gamble just the same
|
| I won’t stop, I won’t turn back until I’m satisfied
|
| Willow branches overhead
|
| Above the rising current, full of dread
|
| A chilly wind begins to moan
|
| The chance to keep from choosing now has flown
|
| The clock is running out of time
|
| And everything I got is on the line
|
| I keep a-searching for an easy trail
|
| But everywhere I look, I’m doomed to fail
|
| Go on, and face the fiery flames
|
| Stay still, and gamble just the same
|
| I won’t stop, I won’t turn back until I’m satisfied
|
| Go on, and face the fiery flames
|
| Stay still, and gamble just the same
|
| I won’t stop, I won’t turn back until I’m satisfied |
