the mighty callaghan
on the river
the mighty river
red as dirt
runnin' fast
comes a woman
we all know her
heart of a giant
voice of an angel
the canyons hear her
and sing right back
rocks up ahead
seen and unseen
you never do know
which one will get you
or when it will be
give your heart then
that wondrous largesse
to live each day
and stay on top
as long as you can
on the river
the mighty river
proud hair flying
paddle dancing
comes a woman
