Lyrics
When I went to river cause the river wouldn't bend to me
And I saw my reflection but I hated what I seen
The water stood up, she filled my lungs
Spilled out the poison from my blackened tongue
So I love you mother like a newborn son
Wendy do run run, da do run run
You carry my heart though it weighs a ton
Wendy do run run, da do run run
When I went to the city cause the city didn't know my name (know my name)
Still I saw my reflection and I hated what I seen
The sun came up almost every night
Had a line and a number and a pocket knife
They took my daughters and replaced my wife
So I ran to the river but she turned to the right
So I love you mother like a newborn son
Wendy do run run, da do run run
You carry my heart though it weighs a ton
Wendy do run run, da do run run
So I love you mother like a newborn son
Wendy do run run, da do run run
You carry my heart though it weighs a ton
Wendy do run run, da do run run
