The River Below by brian beverly

My father, he went sailing
On a dark and desperate sea
I stood on the shore, my sister with me
My father he went sailing, though he never wanted to go
To the river below

On the river below
On the river below
On the river below
Though he never wanted to go

My mother, she went sailing
On a ship that's heaven sent
I stood on the shore, feeble and bent
My mother she went sailing, though she never wanted to go
To the river below

One day I felt my hand upon the rope
And my two sons waved to me, for they knew I loved that boat
I felt the spray, out from the crystal cove
And the winds will blow
