The river flows, 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 just 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 go, past the shady tree

Flow river flow, flow to the sea

Flow river flow, flow to the sea

The river 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 just to be free

And that's the way it turned out to be

Flow, river flow, let your waters rush down

Take me from this road to some other town

Flow river go, past the shady tree

Flow river flow, flow to the sea

Flow river flow, flow to the sea
