magpie - take me back to harper's ferry lyrics
[chorus]
take me down the shenandoah, to the joining of the streams
take me back to harper’s ferry, let me revel in my dreams
where the beauty of the mountains and the struggle to be free
go into one mighty river
to the sea of history
[verse 1]
deep in the chestnut forest far beyond our memory
where dwell the spirits of the people who lived in harmony with the rivers and the woodlands, took only what they’d need
from abundant game they hunted
gathering berries nuts and seeds
[chorus]
take me down the shenandoah, to the joining of the streams
take me back to harper’s ferry, let me revel in my dreams
where the beauty of the mountains and the struggle to be free
flow into one mighty river
to the sea of history
[verse 2]
when the settlers built this little town, they came to name it for
mr harper’s ferry, that went from shore to shore
the power of the raging rivers turned the wheels of trade, carried by the long c_n_l
till the railroads were laid
[chorus]
take me down the shenandoah, to the joining of the streams
take me back to harper’s ferry, let me revel in my dreams
where the beauty of the mountains and the struggle to be free
flow into one mighty river
to the sea of history
[verse 3]
like a twister out of kansas, a man they called john brown came in the name of freedom to this little river town
with a rebel’s desperation, he seized the armory
and gave up his life fighting
for an end to slavery
[bridge]
anderson and leary, newby copeland and green
five black men fought there with him, and died in obscurity
and just like these two rivers, they were runaway and free
one lived, two died in battle
and two on the hanging tree
[chorus]
take me down the shenandoah, to the joining of the streams
take me back to harper’s ferry, let me revel in my dreams
where the beauty of the mountains and the struggle to be free
flow in to one mighty river
to the sea of history
[verse 4]
come listen to the rivers, come listen to the land
come listen to the mountains and you will understand
may her beauty and her story live long after we are gone
told by the rocks and rivers
and by those who carry on
[chorus]
take me down the shenandoah, to the joining of the streams
take me back to harper’s ferry, let me revel in my dreams
where the beauty of the mountains and the struggle to be free
flow into one mighty river
to the sea of history
