Only Our Rivers Run Free |
| When apples still grow in November |
| And blossoms still grow from each tree |
| When leaves are still green in December |
| It’s then that our lands will be free |
| I travelled her hills and her valleys |
| And still trough the sorrows I see |
| A land that has never know freedom |
| And only our rivers run free |
| And only our rivers run free |
| I drink to the death of her manhood |
| Those men who’d rather had died |
| Than to live in the cold chains of bondage |
| To bring back their lives were denied |
| Oh where are you now when we need you |
| What burns were the flames used to be |
| Are you gone like the snows of last winter |
| And will only our rivers run free |
| And will only our rivers run free |
| How sweet is life but we’re crying |
| How mellow the wine but is dry |
| How fregrant the rose but is dying |
| How gentle the breeze but is sigh |
| What good is it new when it’s aging |
| What joy in the eyes that can’t see |
| When there’s sorrow in sunshine and flower |
| And still only our rivers run free |
| And still only our rivers run free |
| I travelled her hills and her valleys |
| And still through her sorrows I see |
| A land that has never known freedom |
| And only our rivers run free |
| And only our rivers run free |
