Rattlesnake Annie - Goodbye to a River lyrics

Goodbye to a river, goodbye to the trees Goodbye to the nightbirds that sing in the breeze They're building a dam, and it's too late to cry Brazos de Dios, adios, goodbye I love in springtime when the wildflowers bloom And I love your summer skies with its big yellow moon I love in autumn and when the whippoorwills call I love your people most of all Goodbye to a river, goodbye to the trees Goodbye to the nightbirds that sing in the breeze They're building a dam, and it's too late to cry Brazos de Dios, adios, goodbye The men with the power say it's just what we need But I'll tell ya folks, it's just a matter of greed They'll dam up the water, then cover our land And chalk it all up to advancement of man Goodbye to a river, goodbye to the trees Goodbye to the nightbirds that sing in the breeze They're building a dam, and it's too late to cry Brazos de Dios, adios, goodbye
