words and music by Pete Seeger



Sailng down my golden river

Sun and water all my own

Yet I was never alone



Sun and water, old life givers

l'll have them where ere I roam

And I was not far from home



Sunlight glancing on the water

Life and death are all my own

Yet I was never alone



Life for all my sons and daughters

Golden sparkles in the foam

And I was not far from home



Sailing down this winding highway

Travelers from near and far

And I was never alone



Exploring all the little byways

Sighting all the distant stars

And I was not far from home



Sailing down my golden river

Sun and water all my own

Yet I was never alone



Sun and water, old life givers

l'll have them where ere I roam

And I was not far from home



Yet I was never alone

And I was not far from home
