Three Rivers Lyrics

Finally got away
From old General Lee
Now I'm out on the trail
With the sun over me
There's a valley below
That's covered with trees
There's a meadow above
That's shimmering green
But still I run
Like the three rivers run
To the sea
At Buffalo Ford
I met a mountain girl
Whose smile was worth the stay
And a look at her world
Where the passes wind high
And the grasses blow cold
This is where I could die
When I grow old

It was a settler's dream
To set down on the land
And rip and turn the soil
Build up what you can
A home is in her heart
And the fire is in her eye
She says look at all we can do
Under these blue mountain skies
