Mcall C W - Green River - Sözleri

(C.W. McCall, Bill Fries, Chip Davis)





[Spoken]


Way out in the canyons of the West, there's a wild river. The Spanish named it San Buenaventura; but we knew it as the Green. 





It was daylight on the river but we couldn't see the sun


And we couldn't hear our voices through the roar


But we felt the boilin' current and our blood was runnin' cold


As we headed down the canyon of Lodore


And the gods were runnin' with us


On the day we ran the rapids of the Green 





[Chorus]


And we died a thousand times in that forty miles of hell


The longest day of life we'd ever seen


But we lived to tell the story and we know the story well


The day we ran the rapids of the Green 





We were thirty-two in number when we gathered on the shore


And we headed off into the great unknown


But we summoned up our courage an' we formed a mighty team


And we ran that ragin' river all alone


Yeah, the gods were runnin' with us


On the day we ran the rapids of the Green 





[Echoing shouts.]








And we hear a thousand echoes on the mighty canyon walls


As we shouted from the waters far below


And we saw the ancient warnings and we heard the ghostly cries


Of the men who ran the river long ago


And we prayed that they were with us


On the day we ran the rapids of the Green 





[Echoing shouts.]








Now the memories are swirlin' in the eddies of our minds


But the waters of the Green are flowin' clear


And the canyon of Lodore will be a long remembered tale


To be told around the campfires through the years


Yeah, the gods were runnin' with us


On the day we ran the rapids of the Green 





[Chorus]


And we died a thousand times in that forty miles of hell


The longest day of life we'd ever seen


But we lived to tell the story and we know the story well


The day we ran the rapids of the Green 





[Echoing shouts. Fade out.]
