Where I Go Lyrics

Climbing under

 A barbed wire fence

 By the railroad ties 

 

 Climbing over

 The old stone wall

 I'm bound for the riverside 

 

 Well, I go over to the river

 To soothe my mind

 To ponder over

 The crazy days of my life

 Just sit and watch the river flow 

 

 Find a place

 On the riverbank

 Where the green rushes grow

 See the wind

 In the willow tree

 In the branches hanging low 

 

 Well, I go to the river

 To soothe my mind

 To ponder over

 The crazy days of my life

 Watch the river flow

 Ease my mind and soul

 Where I go 

 

 Well I will go to the river

 From time to time

 Wander over

 These crazy days in my mind

 Watch the river flow

 Where the willow branches grow

 By the cool rolling waters

 Moving gracefully and slow 

 

 O, child it's lovely

 Let the river take it all away

 The mad pace and the hurry

 The troubles and the worries

 Just let the river take them all away

 Flow away
