Oh the river knows your name
And your tears falling like the rain
All around you suffering and pain
Oh the river knows your name
And the river hears you cry
As the lightning cracks the open sky
As your Momma sings a lullaby
Oh the river she knows why
Let the river wash you down
Beneath the surface
With a rushing sound
Like a freight train passing through a town
Let the river wash you down
Let the river take away
All the words
That you and I could never say
In the silence Darling let us pray
Let the river take it all away
Oh the river knows your name
From the Brazos to the Wabash
To the Seine
No two journeys
Are ever quite the same
But the river knows your name
Oh the river knows your name
