CAuse if i step down off of that river boat
D a d
I don't think that i'm going to float

Cause there's mud just below that sparking water
D g
Yes, there's mud just below that sparking water

And it's soft and deep and warm
G d
Settled 'neath the river once in a storm
D a d
Mud just below that sparkling water
Once I had a daughter strong and fine
Grew up and said she didn't want to be mine
I said I understood and felt the same
New she runs a school for girls, each one as strong as a redwood burl
They're growin' up stronger than the world into which they came
When oh when will i ever learn, its not just the fire that makes me burn
It's not just the ice that cools my flaming skin
Buts if I give up it will cook me good and that ain't the road to sisterhood
Where I'm going ain't the same as where I been
