kurt weill - river chanty lyrics
watch the toehead over to larboard
mark three, quarterless three
watch that snag now over to starboard
half twain, quarterless twain
now we’re sliding, stern’s coming ‘round
miss that bar where the mississippi lady went a+ground
ride us easy, easy river
mark twain, quarter twain, quarterless twain, mark twain!
where you been, river
where you goin’ today?
what you bringin’ me, river, river
what you taking away?
what you bringin’ me, river, river
what you taking away?
ride us easy, father of waters
easy, whispering river
ride us easy, easy, whispering mississippi
whispering, easy, whispering…
here’s snow from the high sierras
here’s cloud from soo san marie
here springs from the roofs of the ranges
washing down to the sea
what towns you been drowning, river
what lands adding on today?
what you bringin’ me, river, river
what you taking away?
here’s water from glacier mountains
here’s water from lakes and plains
the world’s longest drink of water
from god only knows what rains
who you been stealing from, river
who you been friendin’ today?
what you bringin’ me, river, river
what you taking away?
watch the toehead over to larboard
mark three, quarterless three
watch that snag now over to starboard
half twain, quarterless twain
quarter twain, quarterless twain, mark twain
