Chorus:
Water, carry me down, rock me in your arms
Sail me on by the river towns
Take me with the wind, guided by the moon
Sing to me a sweet Clearwater tune
In winter, she’s safe beneath her shed
Where work parties gather to paint her toe to head
They clean her bow to stern and down below
Soon she will be ready with the melting ice and snow
Swans return as the ice recedes
Beckoning the blossoms, awakening the seeds
Bending on the sails we’re nearly through
Spring time we push off the dock and sail downstream to you
Bridge:
Through the osprey’s eyes, navigating the skies
Water flows from mountain to the sea
Though I live miles away, I can always say
Our Hudson River Sloop still calls to me
She lives Pete Seeger’s dream each time she sails
Inspiring folks with songs, enchanting them with tales
Ancient water touches all our lives
Keep our water sacred and we will all survive

Sandy O, vocal, guitar
Cathy Fink, banjo
