Текст песни
The lights were dancing
And my footprints like a mouse
On a postage stamp
I saw a picture of our new house
You got red roofs and magnolias
I saw a field of olive trees
My green river keeps on rising
I got water right up to my knees
Green river
Green river
Green river
Send my soul out to the sea
Raisin', bread and honey
It's not as sweet as you
If I could tell your fortune
Would I lie, would I tell the truth
Well it's depending if it brought you
To my arms or distant shores
My green river keeps on rising
Even higher than it ever dared to rise before
Green river
Green river
Green river
Send my soul out to the sea
I got three rings on my fingers
I call them past, present and fate
One ring came from Mississippi
The other came from a distant state
But it's a state I call confusion
Contradiction and the blues
My green river gonna keep on rising
Till I got water to my brand new shoes
Green river
Green river
Green river
Send my soul out to the sea
This ship ain't moving
It's attached to the land
Last night I dreamed I was at the Ancienne Belgique
With the Spirit of Beauregard fans
And the river kept on rising
It crept past us while we slept
And I woke up in the morning
And my eyes were soaking wet
Green river
Green river
Green river
Send my soul out to the sea
