The River Will Flow Lyrics by Sam Williams

2022

[Verse 1]
They moved hotels making Kentucky Lake
Tore down the churches, dug up the graves
Everything changed
When the boys came back from the war
Flood the river to the Chapmans gate
Somebody’s grandpa had to make something shake
Gather his family and claim land off of the banks
[Chorus]
The river will flood
It goes where it goes
I pray that they'd all be delivered
That they'd know the river will flow
[Verse 2]
It’s somebody’s history, but it ain’t mine
I’m of thе singing, travelling kind
And half of my lineage is sidе-by-side
In Montgomery
Lays Audrey May, lays Hiram King
He left America with ballads
Sad songs to sing
He left this world on the Cadillac ride
1952, come New Years Eve night
[Chorus]
But the river will flood
It goes where it goes
I pray that we'll all be delivered
And I know the river will flow
[Post Chorus]]
Grandma lived on till seventy-five
And I looked at her in the Nashville sky
She said sambo son
Grandpa's facing the creek
Your legacies now gone
Wet your feet
[Verse 3]
Son the river must flow
And history will find you
‘cause you’re the legacy now
Must I remind you
That the river will flow
Boy the river must flow
It goes where it goes
That river
That whole river will flow
