Beautiful River of Life

(Tom T. Hall - Dixie Hall)



This is a beautiful river (brother)

This is a beautiful stream

Tis is a beautiful river (sister)

This is a beautiful dream.



I know it flows through the mountains

Sometimes there's trouble and strife

This is a beautiful river

The beautiful river of life.

The river of life is a journey (brother)

All of God's children must take

Sharing our moments of glory (sister)

Learning from all our mistakes



I know it flows through the mountains

Sometimes there's trouble and strife

This is a beautiful river

The beautiful river of life.



Everyone rides on the river (brother)

Sometimes it's deep and it's wide

If we don't cross over together (sister)

Meet you on the other side.



I know it flows through the mountains

Sometimes there's trouble and strife

This is a beautiful river

The beautiful river of life.



Beautiful river of life...
