The Avalanche

I call ye cabin neighbors

I call you once my friends

But I trust when you labor

And put my head to restBut I was on the hatch

I was on the avalanche

And I had found my match

I was on the floorI took a train from Virginia

To Illinois, my home

He said, "I knew you had it in you"

The mind to make its ownBut I was on the hatch

Riding on the avalanche

I tried to take it back

I was on the floorCome on, stone

Come on, star

Come on, snow

Come on, carCome on, hand

Come on, feet

Come on, face

Come on, street

Come on, state

Come on, songMove it fast

(Take it up)

Move it along

(The Ohio River)

Come on, life

(Take it up)

Come on, lord

(Take it ever)Make it right

(To the Mississippi)

Make it yours
