By the River Lyrics

By a river that flows

To a grove of willows

I left my guitar in a tree

Singer sing us a song

And don't be forlorn

But how can I sing if I'm not free

If I forget you, Oh Jerusalem

Let my hand miss my strings

If I don't sing for you, Oh Jerusalem

Let my tongue not sing

By a river we cry

I turned my face to the sky

Saying, how long Lord

How long

From captivity

You shall return to me

But for how long Lord

How long

If I forget you, Oh Jerusalem

Let my hand miss my strings

If I don't sing for you, Oh Jerusalem

Let my tongue not sing

If I forget you, Oh Jerusalem

Let my hand miss my strings

If I don't sing for you, Oh Jerusalem

Let my tongue not sing

By a river that flows

To a grove of willows

I left my guitar…in a tree
