lyrics

When I get home we're raising boys
To be gentlemen and poets
To have calloused hands the working man is weary
To see what he's toiling for more clearly

Get back to the river
Give back to the poor man
Get back to the river
To the poor man,
To the poor, poor man

When I get home, we're raising boys
With bargaining and bleeding
With punishment and pleading
For everything they are needing

Get back to the river
Give back to the poor man
Get back to the river
To the poor man,
To the poor, poor man

When I get home we're raising boys
With folk law and fiction
With calloused hands the honest man is kneeling
Praying what he's toiling for has more meaning

Get back to the river
Give back to the poor man
Get back to the river
To the poor man,
To the poor, poor man
