Dark Brown Is the River lyrics

[Verse 1]
Dark brown is the river
Golden is the sand
It flows along forever
With trees on either hand

Green leaves a-floating
Castles of the foam
Boats of mine a-boating
Oh, where will all come home?

On goes the river
And out past the mill
Away down the valley
Away down the hill

[Verse 2]
On goes the river
On goes the stream
Down through the waterfall
And down into my dream

Away down the river
A hundred miles or more
Other little children
Shall bring my boats ashore
Shall bring my boats ashore
