Down Where The River Bends Lyrics
Its hard to keep tears out of my eyes<br />
This might be our last goodbye<br />
Our country calls you to defend a great land<br />
So do your part just like a man<br />
<br />
Down where the river bends<br />
With god's help we'll meet again<br />
Under the same old sycamore tree<br />
Proud of each other and the land of the free<br />
<br />
I go down to the ocean blue<br />
Its just as close as I came to you<br />
This old ocean might keep us apart<br />
But it won't keep you dear out of my heart<br />
<br />
If the worst should happen and the poppies should wave<br />

Over your far distant, lonely grave<br />
All the rest of my life I'll spend in prayer<br />
I'll meet you in heaven there'll be no war there
