paroles de chanson Along The Verdigris - Tom Paxton

Every where I look today everything is green
Oklahoma's prettier now than I have ever seen.
High up in the cottonwood an eagle makes her nest.
Evening on the Verdigris, the time I love the best

Down along the Verdigris, the seasons come and go
Life is right beside you here and you can feel it flow
Down to meet the Arkansas then rolling to the sea
All the way to New Orleans from here on the Verdigris

Come and take a walk with me along the Verdigris
I'll show you a sunset that's the way it's meant to be
Blackbird heading homeward at the closing of the day
Just like me, the Verdigris is where he means to stay

My first steps were taken where her muddy waters flow
All my life I've walked these hills, these hills are what I know
I tried life in Tulsa did not do a thing for me
I long to hear the birds in song along the Verdigris

Down along the Verdigris, the seasons come and go
Life is right beside you here and you can feel it flow
Down to meet the Arkansas then rolling to the sea
All the way to New Orleans from here on the Verdigris

Down to meet the Arkansas then rolling to the sea
All the way to New Orleans from here on the Verdigris
