Down Where the River Bends Lyrics
It's hard to keep tears out of my eyes
This might be our last goodbye
Our country calls you to defend a great land
So do your part just like a man
Down where the river bends
With God's help we'll meet again
Under the same old sycamore tree
Proud of each other and the land of the free
I go down to the ocean blue
It's just as close as I came to you
This old ocean might keep us apart
But it won't keep you dear out of my heart
Down where the river bends
With God's help we'll meet again
Under the same old sycamore tree
Proud of each other and the land of the free
If the worst should happen and the poppies should wave
Over your far distant, lonely grave
All the rest of my life I'll spend in prayer
I'll meet you in heaven there'll be no war there
Down where the river bends
With God's help we'll meet again
Under the same old sycamore tree
Proud of each other and the land of the free
This might be our last goodbye
Our country calls you to defend a great land
So do your part just like a man
With God's help we'll meet again
Under the same old sycamore tree
Proud of each other and the land of the free
It's just as close as I came to you
This old ocean might keep us apart
But it won't keep you dear out of my heart
With God's help we'll meet again
Under the same old sycamore tree
Proud of each other and the land of the free
Over your far distant, lonely grave
All the rest of my life I'll spend in prayer
I'll meet you in heaven there'll be no war there
With God's help we'll meet again
Under the same old sycamore tree
Proud of each other and the land of the free
