The [?], the bristles, the wide Rio Grand
One more river to cross
The [?] and the wild through the wild stand
One more river to cross
I tried to be good for most of my life
Never done wrong when I knew what was right
Till winter cross over, my heart will be light
One more river to cross
I was twelve when I first crossed the Cumberland gap
One more river to cross
And except for the memories, I never looked back
One more river to cross
The stake in the sand
The crease to [?]
The willow, the [?], the San Bernadette
I'm tired, but I still got one left in me yet
One more river to cross
My one true companion is carrying me
One more river to cross
And when I cross over, he'll go running free
One more river to cross
And I'll burn a dance, and the horse will run wild
Through endless green [?], till one day it finds
And then it will cross over back to my side
One more river to cross
A river and crossing it back to my side
One more river to cross
One more river to cross
One more river to cross
