Last night the river went callin. 
Like a train when it jumps the tracks how it roared thru the night!
I vowed to never go back. 
I hear the rivermen cry, 
"We never knew peace." 
Are we like a house made of dry grass? 
People pass, sayin, 
"Man, it won't last -
See the fire and sparks spittin fire and smoke." 

Last night the river went callin. 
How it pushed thru the awful black, 
boats of gold hanging by their fiery stacks! 
I heard the rivermen cry, said 
"We never know peace.
"Will we never know peace?" 
Are we like a house made of dry grass? 
People pass. 
"Man, It won't last." 
See the fire & spark spittin fire & smoke. 


Last night I dreamed that I was falling. 
"Where do we go?" I said to myself, 
"If I call your name & you answer cryin?" 
We never knew peace. 
Will we never know peace? 
Or are we like a house made of dry grass? 
People pass, sayin "Man, it won't last!" 
See the fire & sparks spittin fire!
Fire.
Fire.
Fire.
Fire. Fire.
