The ladies would put the baskets on the table And the men would sit beneath a shady tree The children would listen to a fable While something else came through to meThe river got no end Just roll around the bend Then pretty soon the women would all join in On the river hymnThe whole congregation was standing On the banks of the river We are gathered here To give a little thanks thanksThe voice of the rapids will echo And ricochet like an old water well Who'd ever want to let go Once you sit beneath its spellIt's dark and wide and deep Towards the sea it creeps I'm so glad I brought along my mandolin To play the river hymnYou can ride on it or drink it Poison it or damn it fish in it and wash in it Swim in it and you can die in it Run you river, runSon, you ain't never seen yourself No crystal mirror can show it clear come over here instead Son, you ain't never eased yourself Till you laid it down in a river bedIf you hear a lonesome drone It's as common as a stone And gets louder as the day grows dim That's the river hymnThe whole congregation was standing On the banks of the river We are gathered here To give a little thanks thanks
Это интересно:The Band на протяжении шести лет (с 1968 по 1975) были одной из наиболее популярных и влиятельных рок-групп, чья музыка рассматривалась столь же серьезно, как творения "Rolling stones" и "Beatles". А началось все в 1958-м, когда рок-н-ролльщик из Арканзаса Ронни Хокинс стал набирать себе сопровождающий состав. Одним из первых его соратников стал барабанщик Левон Хелм (р. 26 мая 1942). "Ronnie Hawkins & the Hawks"... продолжение
