This Bulging River Lyrics by Waiting for Guffman

Red, White & Blaine: The Musical

0

[Verse 1: Catherine O'Hara]
Child don't know what she’s sayin'
River don't get mean like a man
? that’s what I'm prayin'
Don't want the water raging wild like an angry man can
[Chorus 1: Catherine O'Hara, Catherine O'Hara and Parker Posey]
This bulging river
These green and bountiful banks
For which we given solemn thanks
But come the storm
This bulging river
Is dark and menacing deep
Lord would you help me to keep
My family dry and warm
[Verse 2: Eugene Levy]
A farmer's life is a tough'un
Summer corn don't grow on its own
With ? a-puffin'
And then the water picks us clean as a chicken leg bone
[Chorus 2: Eugene Levy]
This bulging river
I’ve seen it break a man’s heart
And tear his whole world apart
But truth be told
This bulging river
As big and bad as it be
Lord must love something so free
To let it gеt so old
To let this bulging river get so old
[Verse 3: Fred Willard]
Wе may not be too important
In the grand old heavenly scheme
And when the sky's full of portent
We say then let the water come ’cause you can't drown a dream
[Chorus 3: All, Eugene Levy, Christopher Guest]
This bulging river
Beneath the harlequin stars
This land will long bear the scars
Of each new flood
This bulging river
It's God and Devil in one
There ain't a thing to be done
The river’s in our blood
This deep and bulging river's in our blood
Ahhhh-ahhh
