Текст песни Mighty Clarence River - Archie Roach

Can you hear the Clarence river singing
Sing it out, the sweet, sweet freedom song

And it beckons us to come
Yeah, it beckons us to come along
Come along

Come on girls, we got to jump into the river
Get away from the tones of the white-man balls

But we gotta be strong
Yeah, we got to be strong to call us
Pass everyone

Now we've never felt apart
I'm a mother and a wife
My kids can grow up big and strong
We plan all the place where we belong
Where we belong

And I remember when three girls cross this river
From that island that now seems so small

When they enter the river
Or when they enter the river's call

Got to get away from it all
Away from those men
Changing my horses
Taking whips now and the after
Until they were brought to run
And jump into the river
And the swam
Up in the billy river

When they enter the river
Or when they enter the river's call

Come girl, we got to jump into the river (can't get away, into the river)
Come on girl, we got to jump into the river (river)
Come on girl, we got to jump into the river (I got to get away)
Come on girl, we got to jump into the river (come on honey)
Come on girl, we got to jump into the river
Come on girl, we got to jump into the river
Come on girl, we got to jump into the river
