Down To The River Lyrics

I went down to the river
But the river was dry
I went down to the sea
But it was not the place to be
So I climbed the highest mountain
And I climbed to the mountaintop
Girl, I found me a home
And I don't have to roam

Au bord de la rivie're
Mais la rivie're e'tait se`che
Au bord de la mer gras
n'e'tait pas la place pour moi
Je trouve la plus haute montagne
Mais la montagne e'tait trop haute
Oh j'ai trouve' mon foyer
Il faut plus me promener

Well I went down to the river
But the river was dry
I went down to the sea
But it was not the place to be
So I climbed the highest mountain
And I climbed to the mountaintop
Girl, I found me a home
And you know I can't stop

Oh je chante ma p'tit chanson
Avec l'esprit de la Louisiane
Oh je viens des grandes prairies
Les grandes prairies de Manitoba
Oh la langue est tout la me^me
Mais la culture un p'tit peu diffe'rent
Oh c'est toute une grande famille
Je chante pour toi, je chante por moi!
