Down to the River Lyrics

[00:20.33] I went down to the river
[00:23.01] But the river was dry
[00:24.82] I went down to the sea
[00:27.59] But it was not the place to be
[00:29.37] So I climbed the highest mountain
[00:33.05] And I climbed to the mountaintop
[00:34.84] Girl, I found me a home
[00:37.51] And I don't have to roam
[01:00.15] Au bord de la riviére
[01:01.90] Mais la riviére était sèche
[01:04.68] Au bord de la mer gras
[01:07.36] N'était pas la place pour moi
[01:09.18] Je trouve la plus haute montagne
[01:12.84] Mais la montagne était trop haute
[01:14.59] Oh j'ai trouvé mon foyer
[01:17.33] Il faut plus me promener
[01:39.95] Well I went down to the river
[01:41.76] But the river was dry
[01:44.41] I went down to the sea
[01:46.25] But it was not the place to be
[01:48.95] So I climbed the highest mountain
[01:51.73] And I climbed to the mountaintop
[01:54.48] Girl, I found me a home
[01:56.24] And you know I can't stop
[02:19.79] Oh je chante ma p'tit chanson
[02:21.52] Avec l'esprit de la Louisiane
[02:24.24] Oh je viens des grandes prairies
[02:26.08] Les grandes prairies de Manitoba
[02:29.65] Oh la langue est tout la même
[02:30.53] Mais la culture un p'tit peu différent
[02:33.33] Oh c'est toute une grande famille
[02:36.08] Je chante pour toi, je chante por moi!
[04:58.55]
