the secret sisters - tennessee river runs low lyrics
[intro]
if i were born to be a river
if a river is all i’d be
i’d tell the giver of all of the rivers
to make me the tennessee
[verse 1]
how many drops of rain roll
off of how many windowpanes
down to a valley low
where a river like me begins to grow
i sing a mournful song
as i rush and ramble along
oh dee-oh-dee-oh-dee-oh
oh dee-oh-dee-oh-dee, oh
[verse 2]
i bury secrets deep
i keep them down where the catfish creep
where the rolling tide
can’t reach the things that i hide
i hum a mournful tune
in the alabama june
oh dee-oh-dee-oh-dee
oh dee-oh-dee-oh-dee, oh
[chorus]
and i sing
oh dee, dee-dee-dee
oh doo, doo-doo-doo
oh oh, oh-oh-oh
even the tennessee river runs low
[bridge]
when the sky is bright and clear
not a cloud above you
you can float in knowing, dear
that i was made to love you
when the storm is raging
all the light is fading
the river sings along with me
reaching for that minor key
[verse 3]
color me blue and gray
river, carry me fast away
flood all the rocks and grills
on for the mighty hill
i am the tennessee
see you down at the stormy sea
oh dee-oh-dee-oh-dee
oh dee-oh-dee-oh-dee, oh
[chorus]
and i sing
oh dee, dee-dee-dee
oh doo, doo-doo-doo
oh oh, oh-oh-oh
even the tennessee river runs low
[outro]
the tennessee river runs low
even the tennessee river runs low
