Lyrics

River Dance
(written by: Ruben Estevez)


Verse:
Momma raised me right near the river dam
Baptized in these currents by the preacher man
Lots of fishing, a little bit of kissing
Something 'bout these waters; they're just a part of who I am

Channel:
I can hear that racing rhythm rushing through my bones
I can feel that peaceful water deep inside my soul

Chorus:
And it takes me high, high as the mountain
White water rapids under deep blue skies
It takes me low, down to the valley
Winding through the meadows on a starry night
Wu-oh, it'll put you in a trance
When you feel the River Dance
The River Dance

Verse:
Another whiskey night down at the Red Canoe
The dogs howling at the man in the moon
Smoke rising, banjos are flying
All of us are dancing and singing that familiar tune, and

Channel:
I can hear that racing rhythm rushing through my bones
I can feel that peaceful water deep inside my soul

(repeat chorus)

Bridge:
Come down, down to the river, won't you come down
Come down, down to the river, won't you come down
Hey, won't you come down

(repeat chorus twice)

Outro: (bridge with counter melody lines below)
Don't hold back now, don't be shy, come on down and take a dive
Bring your lover, bring your friend, where the fun will never end
