oh can you see her
by the way
(by the way)

like a gently flowing river
she murmers

can you hear the word she'll  say

COME ON BOY
(COME ON BOY)

AND BUILD FROM ALL OF YOUR LABOR
A HOME THAT WE  CAN SHARE

I DON'T WANT NO MORE FIGHTIN'
JUST FOR NOTHIN'

I DONE SEEN ENOUGH FEAR

there's a mountain
over yonder

I'll be gone
(I'll be gone)

I will rise in strength all around her
for each babe
though still unborn

SO COME ON BOY
(COME ON BOY)

AND GO OUT TO YOUR OWN WILDERNESS
AND FIND YOU THE LADY FAIR

IT'S FOR YOU THAT SHE'S STILL WORKIN HARD
(SHE'S IN LABOR)
AND DON'T SAY YOU NEVER CARED

and you know that it won't bother me
how with her you spend your night

I've a forever, younger sister
in my sight

oh can you see her
by the way
(by the way)

like a gently flowing river
she murmers

can you hear the word she'll  say
