lyrics
Way back when where the music flowed, Big Wide River Of Love
Farmer’s fields and the old scare crow, Big Wide River Of Love
Oh, on that wide river, river of love so wide, wide river, big wide river of love
Paddle back in a long canoe, Big Wide River Of Love,
Sing and dance and play for you, Big Wide River Of Love
Oh, on that wide river, river of love so wide, wide river, big wide river of love
I take one look at the riverside, Big Wide River Of Love
It’s so far it hurts my eyes, Big Wide River Of Love
Oh, on that wide river, river of love so wide, wide river, big wide river of love
The canoe tips and we all fall in, Big Wide River Of Love
You drink it down, that powerful gin, Big Wide River Of Love
Oh, on that wide river, river of love so wide, wide river, big wide river of love
Now the river of love get it in your soul, Big Wide River Of Love
Big Wide River Of Love
Oh, on that wide river, river of love so wide, wide river, big wide river of love
Well you ride it slow and you ride it fast, Big Wide River Of Love
You ride it now back to the past, Big Wide River Of Love
Oh, on that wide river, river of love so wide, wide river, big wide river of love

i love eilen jewell. just listened to the entire album, get behind the wheel, now going back and listening to and savoring individual tracks. her music has an indescribable beauty. it's real, honest, sweet, powerful, touching, universal. it's a special artist that can do all that and leave you coming back for more. tikibarjim
