We can build a dream with love

Come on, people, come on, children

Come on down to the glory river.

Gonna wash you up, and wash you down, 

Gonna lay the devil down, 

gonna lay that devil down.

Come on, people! Come on, children!

There's a king at the glory river

And the precious king, 

he loved the people to sing,

Babes in the blinkin' sun sang

"We Shall Overcome".

I got fury in my soul, 

fury's gonna take me to the glory goal

In my mind I can't study war no more.

Save the people, 

save the children, 

save the country

save the country

Come on, people, come on, children 

Come on down to the glory river 

Gonna wash you up and wash you down 

Gonna lay the devil down, 

gonna lay that devil down

Come on, people! Sons and mothers 

Keep the dream of the two young brothers 

Take that dream and ride that dove

We can build a dream with love, I know, 

We can build a dream with love

We can build a dream with love, I know

We can build a dream with love, 

We can build a dream with love, I know,

We can build a dream with love.

I got fury in my soul, 

fury's gonna take me to the glory goal 

In my mind I can't study war no more.

Save the people

Save the children

Save the country

Save the country

Save the country

NOW!

Oh sweet blindness: all over me

let's go down by the grapevine

drink my daddy's wine

get happy 

down by the grapevine

drink my daddy's wine

get happy

happy

oh sweet blindness

a little magic

a little kindness

oh sweet blindness

all over me

four leaves on a clover

I'm just a bit of a shade hung over

come on baby do a slow float

you're a good lookin' riverboat

and ain't that sweet-eyed blindness good to me

let's go down by the grapevine

drink my daddy's wine

good mornin'

down by the grapevine

drink my daddy's wine

good mornin'

Mornin'!

oh sweet blindness

a little magic

a little kindness

oh sweet blindness

all over me

please don't tell my mother

I'm a saloon and a moonshine lover

come on baby do a slow float

you're a good lookin' riverboat

and ain't that sweet eyed blindness good to me

(don't ask me cause I)

ain't gonna tell you what I've been drinkin'

ain't gonna tell you what I've been drinkin'

ain't gonna tell you what I've been drinkin'

wine

of wonder

Wonder!

(by the way)

sweet blindness

a little magic

a little kindness

oh sweet blindness

all over me

don't let daddy hear it

he don't believe in the gin mill spirit

come on baby do a slow float

you're a good lookin' riverboat

and ain't that sweet eyed blindness good to me

good to me

now ain't that sweet eyed blindness good to me
