Sailing Down This Golden River words and music by Pete Seeger Sailng down my golden river Sun and water all my own Yet I was never alone Sun and water, old life givers l'll have them where ere I roam And I was not far from home Sunlight glancing on the water Life and death are all my own Yet I was never alone Life for all my sons and daughters Golden sparkles in the foam And I was not far from home Sailing down this winding highway Travelers from near and far And I was never alone Exploring all the little byways Sighting all the distant stars And I was not far from home Sailing down my golden river Sun and water all my own Yet I was never alone Sun and water, old life givers l'll have them where ere I roam And I was not far from home Yet I was never alone And I was not far from home ©1971 Melody Trails Inc, New York, NY (TRO)
