Jimmy Kelly - Only Our Rivers Run Free lyrics

When apples still grow in november and blossoms still grow from each tree When leaves are still green in december it's then that our land will be free I travelled the hills and the valleys and still through the sorrows I see A land that has never known freedom and only our rivers run free And only our rivers run free, and only our rivers run free I drink to the d**h of her manhood those men who'd rather had died Than to live in the cold chains of boundage to bring back their rights were denied Oh were are you now when we need you what burns were the flames used to be Are you gone like the snows of last winter and will only our rivers run free And will only our rivers run free, and only our rivers run free How sweet is life but we're crying, how mellow the wine but it's dry How fregant the rose but it´s dying, how gentle the breeze but it sigh What good is the new when it's aging, what joy in the eyes that can see When there's sorrow in sunshine and flowers and only our rivers run free And only our rivers run free, and only our rivers run free, and only our rivers run free
