I went down to the river, babe
it was lonely, it was cold
it was a moonlight ribbon
smelled of tears and mold
you know the night was silent
as the hushed wing of an owl
the darkness, kept its secrets
what was sweet, what was foul
the river it knew everything
what was asked and what was told
the river it knew everything
what was bought and what was sold
the river it knew everything
what was new and what was old
It must have been the river
the river of souls
way down in Casablanca
to the left bank of the Seine
the river it knew everything
the aching joy, the pain
the river it knew everything
even things you can't explain
it must have been that river
must have been that river of souls
Deeper than the Amazon
Longer than the Nile
the river it knew everything
every frown and every smile
the river it knows everything
every folder, every file
it must have been the river
must have been that river of souls
Stumble to the Trinity
The Mississippi old
the river it knows everything
The Colorado bold
the river it knows everything
the stories never told
it must have been the river
must have been that river of souls
River of Souls--lyric
