Ref: Roll river roll, roll river roll Down through the valley, into my soul Down from New Hampshire, she rises and falls Tides feeding wetlands, she feeds as she crawls Whitewater rafting, fishing for bass Watching the geese fly, watching them pass Ref: Foaming white waters southeastern bound Four hundred miles down to the sound When she was young, she never was tamed Her waters would cover the cities unshamed Break: Eddies swirling, waves a'curling Always going, seaward flowing Whispering river, gen'rous giver Downward falling, always calling,, Ref: Her waters would power the factories and mills Quenching the farmer's land as he tills From Springfield to Hartford they rolled past the docks Passing the shallows at Windsor Locks Ref: Connecticut River a jewel in the wild Whose beauty and splendor has many beguiled May she forever continue to flow Down from Vermont to Old Saybrook below Ref: |
