Red Dog Ash - Three Rivers lyrics

rate me

She goes a running after midnight

Feet pounding on the cool Kentucky clay

Got to cross the big Ohio

Freedom waters for a tired, hungry slave

She’s a night walker

A dead man talker

A Black-eyed girl running from the grave

Mother’s milk and heart a pounding

She goes running cross the cool Kentucky clay

Just a poor girl born in Galilee

Stayed in Bethlehem then lit out for a while

Heard the voices of the angels

Sent her running down the delta of the Nile

She’s a word-staker

A man’s-law-breaker

Virgin mother walks 400 miles

Ninety days and more a stranger

She goes running down the delta of the Nile

She sees the Dipper in the low sky

Holds a faded paper tight within her hand

Desert skies are mighty lonesome

If you’re headed for El Norte Rio Grande

She’s a dream chaser

A border town racer

Mestizo girl alone upon the land

Forty days a proud new mother

She’s headed for El Norte Rio Grande

And it’s three rivers of promise to cross

Three mothers in the wilds all but lost

Some are praised and some are scorned

Some are saved, some forlorn

Some find a bed, some find a crown of thorns<br />

<br />
