Hey little river, would you tell us your tale?
Have you been down in the dark old dale?
Hey little river with the ripple and breeze,
Have you been following me?
Hey little river with the wounded knee,
Have you made friends with the fallen tree?
Hey little river with the ripple and breeze,
Have you been following me?
Whither are you after?
Running off so soon.
One day we will gather...
Under the falling moon.
Hey little river with the blue raccoon,
Have you felt the rain and the morning dew?
Hey little river with the ripple and breeze,
Have you been following me?
Hey little river with the big red stones,
Have you found the way to your father's home?
Hey little river with the ripple and breeze,
Have you been following me?
Whither are you after?
Running off so soon.
One day we will gather...
Under the falling moon.
Maybe I was following you.
