Betty Carter - By the Bend of the River lyrics

Have you ever seen such an evening? Have you ever seen such a sky? Have you ever felt so peaceful inside? Neither have I Have you noticed that old river? So quietly sliding by Have you ever seen the gra** so green? Neither have I Can't think of a place I'd rather be Than the one on which I stand I'm happy with my people Happy with my home, happy with my land Don't know how to explain it Don't even think I'll try But I could spend till my days end Here with the river going by Come on down and join us Tell your cares and worries goodbye 'Cause hearts can mend With family and friend On this bend, with the river goin' by Don't know how to explain it Don't even think I'll try But I'm content to spend, till my days end Here on the bend, with the river going by
