Rainbow River

The rainbow river is a laughing stream
 Down in a valley by a mountain that is pine tree tall
 The rainbow river has a small boy fishing with a worm
 And a jam jar by the waterfall
 Don't make a sound don't disturb the ground
 The biggest fish you ever saw is around
 And the rainbow river gives a rainbow fish
 As one small boy goes running proudly to his mother's
 Call
 The stonebuilt farmhouse is a rough stone cottage
 Hiding close against the hillside up a winding track
 The stonebuilt farmhouse has a fair-haired farmer
 Wearing wooden shoes and building up a new haystack
 Run in the door stand on the stone floor
 The oven opens- there's the biggest loaf you ever saw
 And the stonebuilt farmhouse gives a good warm
 Welcome
 As he sits down in his own chair with a Windsor back
 The magpie meadow is a glowing evening colour
 Sun is setting quietly and the boy is tired
 The magpie meadow has a sparrow hawk who hovers
 Hanging on the wind preying eagle eyed
 Sit by the lantern watch as the years turn
 Slowly bringing truth for every child to learn
 And the magpie meadow darkens gently blue now
 As the family sit their faces lit by ember fire
