The river flows, it flows to the sea

Wherever that river goes that's where I want to be

Flow river flow, let your waters wash down

Take me from this road to some other town



All he wanted was to be free

And that's the way it turned out to be

Flow river flow, let your waters wash down

Take me from this road to some other town



Flow river flow, past the shady trees

Go river go, go to the sea

Flow to the sea, flow to the sea

Flow to the sea



The river flows, it flows to the sea

Wherever that river flows that's where I want to be

Flow river flow, let your waters wash down

Take me from this road to some other town
