Last night the river went calling
Like a train that jumps the tracks
How it roared thru the night like a vow to never go back
We never knew peace
Will we never know peace?
Are we like a house made of dry grass?
People pass sayin, Man, it won't last!

Last night the river went calling
How it pushed thru the awful black!
Boats of gold hanging by their fiery stacks
I heard the rivermen cry, We will never know peace
Are we like a house made of dry grass?
People pass sayin, Man, it won't last
See the fire and smoke spittin fire and sparks
Are we like a house made of dry grass?
People pass sayin, Man, it won't last

Last night I dreamed I was falling
Where do we go, I said to myself
If I call your name and you answer crying?
We never knew peace
Will we never know peace?
Are we like a house made of dry grass?
People pass sayin, See the fire and sparks
spitting fire and sparks
Are we like a house made of dry grass?
People pass sayin
People pass sayin, See the fire and smoke
spitting fire and sparks
Are we like a house made of dry grass?
People pass sayin, It won't last
