Down Where The River Bends
John Duffy It's hard to keep the tear out of my eyes For this might be our last goodbye Your country calls you to defend this great land So do your part just like a man Down where the river bends With God's help we'll meet again Under the same old sycamore tree Proud of each other in the land of the free I'll go down to the ocean blue And get just as close as I can to you Though the ocean wide may keep us apart It won't keep you dear from out of my heart * Refrain If the worst should happen, and the poppies should wave Over your far distant lonely grave All the rest of my life I'll spend in rayer I'll meet you in heaven, there'll be no warws there * Refrain
