Lyrics

I’ve lived all my life
On the Cumberland shores
And the waters, they rise and they wane

Ain’t it funny, just like troubles
They come and they go, away

So when you get tired
When you get lost
When the river runs wide
You cross

It was spring of ’49
When the banks overflowed
We were stranded, with no place to stay

That’s when Daddy grabbed the boat
Said I’m going for help
Now would you pray

So when you get tired
When you get lost
When the river runs wide
You cross

Now the years, both strong and fallow
Like branches they float
Away
