River going to take me, sing sweet and sleepy,
Sing me sweet and sleepy all the way back home.
Its a far gone lullaby, sung many years ago.
Mama, mama many worlds Ive come since I first left home.Fare you well, fare you well, I love you more than words can tell,
Listen to the river sing sweet songs, to rock my soul.
May you find Peace Brandon. Your family and your beloved Ocean are in my prayers.
