Levellers - Maid Of The River Lyrics
She's the maid of the river
So beautifully plain
As fresh as the country
That gave her her name
As crisp as the snow
She shone like the sun
Before all of our games
She shone like a jewel
But her price was not gold
She cried more than most
When her story was told
But her people were evil
Left her barren and cold
And her heart went to market
I said: 'Hey, hey won't you take me away
'Cause I can't see the point in the dawn of the day
When so many killers gonna take you away
They'll leave little left except hatred'
She's the goddess of love
The goddess in green
The goddess of all
That I've ever seen
The goddess of hope
The goddess in brown
The goddess of all
That you've burned to the ground
I said: 'Hey, hey won't you take me away
'Cause I can't see the point in the dawn of the day
When so many killers gonna take you away
They'll leave little left except hatred'
There's all kind of hatred
Flows out of man's hands
There's the hatred that strangles
The throat of a man
But the worst of all hatred
Is that which is planned
Against what we have
In this goddess of land
I said: 'Hey, hey won't you take me away
'Cause I can't see the point in the dawn of the day
When so many killers gonna take you away
They'll leave little left except hatred'

Outstanding X
LEGENDS X
Love you^-^
I'm not a huge fan of the levellers they remind me of new age travellers they look and dress like tramps I bet they smell of hippy piss and josh sticks, but I must admit I do love this song.
I am curious, so please tell me, does hippy piss smell worse than any other type of piss then? Oh yes, and what exactly are "josh sticks"; do they smell a bit like joss sticks?
Hippy piss? What the jeeps do you imagine our pee smells like? Hint, it's pee not patchouli oil. Though patchouli would smell nicer.
🤔 Odd post tbh.
I do not agree.true celts.silly rabbit.lol.
Don't take me away there is still light in my day x
A truly beautiful piece of music from a brilliant band, thanks :)
absolutely my favourite song I listen to it constantly
any chance of " River o' Joe " what a classic song :)
Another one written by Rev Hammer, it is actually called 'Down By The River', and I think it is already on YouTube.
yeah I knew it was Rev Hammer but they did a version with both bands playing it and it can be found as a live show but I was wondering if you had a full version and studio quality :)
