Intro
[Ve
There Was A Little Boy Born On A River Doing What His Grandfather Told
Fishing And Listening To The Stories Of Old
They Sink Deep In His Heart, He Treasures Them Like Gold
He Knows This River’s Special It Does Something To His Soul
Verse 2
Sitting There By The River, No Longer A Child
He Still Knows The Way But Runs A Little Wild
Like A Flood He Covers His True Heart Inside
But Then Remembers Elders’ Words & Looks Back With A Smile
Chorus 1
This River Runs Deep In His Soul
This River Is All That He Knows
This River, This River Of Gold
Verse 3
Lying There By The River, His Kids Chase Pelicans
Flood Waters Have Drawn Back, The Boys Become A Man
This River Has Watched Him Grow, You Can See His True Heart Again
He Passes On His Knowledge & Does All That He Can
Chorus 1
This River Runs Deep In His Soul
This River Is All That He Knows
This River, This River Of Gold
Tag
This River, This River Of Gold
Verse 4
He Worked Hard All His Life, Watched That River Run By
Didn’t Know There Was Something Burning Him Inside
His Heart Is Breakin’, His Bones Are Achin’ His Body’s Runnin Dry
Now His Children Look At Him With A Teardrop In Their Eye
Chorus 2
This River Ran Deep In His Soul
This River Was All That He’d Known.
This River, This River Of Gold

This River, This River Of Gold
Verse 5
The Old Man’s Spirit Left Us On That Dried Up River Bed
Cars They Lined The Streets, The People Said Their Prayers
A Vision In The Night Of That Old Man & What He Has Said
Made His Children Show Respect & Make That River Theirs

Now This River Runs Deep In Their Soul
This River Is All That They Know
This River, This River Of Gold
Now This River Runs Deep In Their Soul
This River Is All That They Know
