Lyrics
As I walked down by the riverside One evening in the spring Heard a long-gone song from days gone by Blowing in on the great north wind Though there is no lonesome corncrake's cry Of sorrow and delight You can hear the cars and the shouts from bars The laughter and the fights May the ghosts that howled 'round the house at night Never to bring you mysery May they all sleep tight down in hell tonight Or wherever they may be ♪ As I walked on with a heavy heart Then a stone danced on the tide And the song went on though the lights were gone And the north wind gently sighed And an evening breeze coming from the east That kissed the riverside So I pray now, child, that you sleep tonight When you hear this lullaby May the wind that blows from haunted graves Never bring you misery May the angels bright watch you tonight And keep you while you sleep ♪ Thank you, merci This is called "The Body of an American"
