River Risin' Moon High
Instrumental from the Right Side Up album by Ralph McTell.
Instrumental from the Right Side Up album by Ralph McTell.
Call me crazy, call me sad;
Call me lazy, call me bad.
But you move me, move me,
I'm moving on.
'Cause you move me, move me, moving on.
One day our laughter comes flowing with the rain.
And on the very next day, our sorrow sees us crying again,
But darling: you can discover the lover in me;
I can discover the lover in thee.
Together we can roll and tumble until the cows come home.
How many times, have you heard somebody say:
"If I had his money, I'd do things my way."
But little they know, it is so hard to find;
One rich man in ten, with a satisfied mind.
Every day and all night,
I'm trying to tell you're all right.
Every day and every night,
I try to tell you it's black and white.
Well my residential woman said, said to me,
That you daren't eat peaches from a hawthorn tree.
Well she said it to me once,
And then she said it again;
Even though I try, I can't remember when.
This tune was composed by Spencer the Rover
As valiant a man as ever left home
And he had been much reduced
Which caused great confusion
And that was the reason he started to roam
Saturday night comes creeping,
Saturday night comes creeping cold.
Saturday night comes laughing and dancing,
Sunday leaves you cold.
My baby girl;
She's the sweetest in the whole wide world.
She wears her hair way up in a curl,
Just to show she's my very own baby girl.
A thousand kisses flying home to you;
A thousand kisses, two thousand miles from view,
Root love...
