Lyrics
Ch:
Still the river runs to the open water
Still the river runs onward to the sea
Still the river runs and you may follow after
I'll sail away with you if you sail away,
sail away with me
I built this boat with my own hands
Every plank and copper nail
I built this boat with my own hands from the living tree
I'll take her to the riverside
Every plank and copper nail
I'll take her to the riverside and onward to the sea
But she's no single handed sail
Every plank and copper nail
But she's no single handed sail on the open sea
Do you come along with me
Every plank and copper nail
Do you come along with me to the open sea
