[piano intro
slow gospel thang]
starts 34
improvno time
F |Bb |FC
|D- |D- D E |
The ladies would put the baskets on the table
F |BbC
|D- |G- FA
And the men would sit beneath a shady tree
|Bb |FC
|D- |D-C |
The children would listen to a fable
Bb |A-
|44 G7 | | meter
While something else came through to me
|F Bb |FC BbD |F
Bb |FC BbD
The river got no end, just roll around the bend
|F Bb

Then pretty soon the women would all join in

On the river hymn...

The whole congregation was standing on the banks of the river
CG E |C

We are gathered here to give a little thanks thanks

The voice of the rapids will echo
F |BbC |D-

And ricochet like an old water well
Bb |FC |D- |D-C |
Who d
ever want to let go
Bb |A- |44 G7 | | meter
Once you sit beneath its
spell
|F Bb |FC BbD |F Bb |FC BbD
It's dark and wide and
deep, towards the sea it creeps
|F Bb |FC Bb |F |Bb
I'm so glad
I brought along my mandolin
|F |F D |
To play the river
hymn...
G |G C |
You can ride on it or drink it
