thomas hampson - the negro speaks of rivers lyrics
Loading...
[verse 1]
i’ve known rivers
i’ve known rivers
ancient as the world
and older than the flow of human blood in human veins
my soul has grown deep like the rivers
[verse 2]
i bathed in the euphrates
when dawns were young
i built my hut near the congo
and it lulled me to sleep
[piano solo]
[verse 3]
i looked upon the nile
and raised the pyramids above it
i heard the singing of the mississippi
when abe lincoln went down to new orleans
and i’ve seen its muddy bosom turn all golden in the sunset
[verse 4]
i’ve known rivers
ancient, dusky rivers
my soul has grown deep like the rivers
