Sleep by the River Lyrics by The Riverside (Folk)

Oregon to Virginia

2019

[Verse 1]
The night is coming now, have you heard?
And through the town, spreading the word
So build a fire and settle down
Until I see you again
The night is coming now, have you heard?
And through the town, spreading the word
So sleep by the river and move along
Until I see you again
[Chorus]
Stay warm
Sleep by the river
Stay warm
'Til I see you again
Stay warm
Build up a fire
Until I see you again
Stay warm
Sleep by the river
Stay warm
'Til I see you again
Stay warm
Build up a fire
Until I see you again
[Verse 2]
The night is coming now, have you heard?
Through the town, spreading the word
Sleep by the river and move along
'Til I see you again
[Chorus]
Stay warm
Sleep by the river
Stay warm
Till I see you again
Stay warm
Build up a fire
Until I see you again
[Verse 3]
The night is coming now, have you heard?
Through the town, spreading the word
Sleep by the river and move along
Until I see you again
[Outro]
Oh, brothers let's go down
Let's go down
Come on down
Oh, brothers let's go down
Down in the river to pray
Oh, sisters let's go down
Let's go down
Come on down
Oh, sisters let's go down
Down in the river to pray
To the river let's go down
Let's go down
Come on down
To the river let's go down
Down in the river to pray
