Blue River
Clear Mountain River
Mighty river, deep and wide
Flowing by the mountainside
Carry me back to my home
New River
Clear Mountain River
Mighty river, deep and wide
Flowing by the mountainside
Carry me back to my home
My brother taught me how to swim
Between your shores, my friend
And I never will forget
How cold your water was that day
I wish to God that I could
Go back to the times
When we would play down
On the rocks

And fish all day
Blue River
Clear Mountain River
Mighty river, deep and wide
Flowing by the mountainside
Carry me back to my home
New River

Mighty river, deep and wide


My brother taught me how to swim
Between your shores, my friend
And I never will forget
How cold your water was that day
I wish to God that I could

My brother taught me how to swim

Blue river, clear mountain river, mighty river deep and wide, flowing by the mountainside,
carry me back to the place where I belong, mighty river deep and wide, flowing by the mountainside,
carry me back to my home, carry me back home.
