Tennessee River Runs Low - The Secret Sisters

[00:09.65]If I were born to be a river
[00:18.30]If a river is all I'd be
[00:24.52]I'd tell the giver of all of the rivers
[00:33.41]To make me the Tennessee
[00:41.90]
[00:45.52]How many drops of rain roll of how many windowpanes
[00:52.69]Down to a valley low where a river like me begins to grow
[00:59.88]I sing a mournful song as I rush a ramble along
[01:07.23]
[01:17.65]I bury secrets deep
[01:20.20]I keep them down where the catfish creep
[01:24.38]Where the rolling tide can't reach the things that I hide
[01:31.90]I hum a mournful tune in the Alabama June
[01:37.93]
[01:43.39]And I sing
[01:46.28]
[01:53.92]Even the Tennessee river runs low
[01:57.97]
[01:59.49]When the sky is bright and clear
[02:02.84]Not a cloud above you
[02:06.12]You can float in knowing, dear
[02:09.45]That I was made to love you
[02:12.67]When the storm is raging
[02:15.97]All the light is fading
[02:19.29]The river sings along with me
[02:22.59]Reaching for that minor key
[02:26.20]
[02:29.25]Color me blue and gray
[02:31.69]River, carry me fast away
[02:35.81]Flood all the rocks and grills
[02:39.60]On for the mighty hill
[02:42.51]I am the Tennessee
[02:44.94]See you down at the stormy sea
[02:49.14]
[02:54.50]And I sing
[02:55.69]
[03:04.87]Even the Tennessee river runs low
[03:08.90]The Tennessee river runs low
[03:11.59]Even the Tennessee river runs low
