Dwight Yoakam - Down Where The River Bends Lyrics
Hard to keep the tear out of my eyes.
For this might be our last goodbye.
Your country calls you to defend a great land,
So do your part just like a man.
With God's help we'll meet again.
Under the same old sycamore tree,
Proud of each other in the land of the free.
I'll go down to the ocean blue
And get just as close as I can to you
Though the ocean wide may keep us apart
It won't keep you dear from out of my heart.
Down where the river bends
Under the same old sycamore tree
Proud of each other in the land of the free.
If the worst should happen, and the poppies should wave
Over your far distant lonely grave
All the rest of my life I'll spend in prayer
I'll meet you in heaven, there'll be no wars there,
Down where the river bends
With God's help we'll meet again
Under the same old sycamore tree
Proud of each other in the land of the free...

Dwight Yoakam Down Where The River Bends Comments
My grandfather Stacey lived on Sandy Ridge Mountain in Virginia and was neighbors with Ralph Stanley. Ralph personally gave my mother a copy of this album on CD. My most prized album.
For you cousin Richard
Beautiful voice , Dwight
Dwight is just great with anybody.. it's the innate genuine respect he has for all, that must come from the innate self respect he has...
Good Ol, country music... Always touching the heart...
To me Dwight sounds good with everybody it's the Bakersfield twang and the Dwight trash...
I think a few hundred of these views must be me at this point.
Since Google didn't really help me I'm still wondering: is Down Where The River Bends" a traditional song?
Dwight sent me here, thank you, awesome.
Went to a Ralph Stanley show in Oakland Ca. Wonderful Music!!!!
I have this album. It is great.
Proud of each other, in the land of the free!
NICE!!!
