Let's Go Down Stream

from Album: The Rivers Call (2013) by Chuck LeMonds

lyrics

When you go down stream, use a paddle for a ruder.
When you go upstream, you gotta row like a mother.
Let’s go down stream to the land of our dreams.
Let’s go down stream to New Orleans.

Let’s go down stream, where the folks aren’t mean.
Let’s go down stream, where they go green.
Let’s go down stream, where Ellen’s Queen.
Let’s go down stream, where the gals are seen.

Don’t let your thoughts cause you to wait.
You be the one to decide your fate.
Come right on down to the land of your dreams.
Come right on down to sweet Orleans.

We can walk the streets, where the gals are sweet.
You never know who we just might meet.
Ellen’s sure to give us a treat,
if we should meet her on the street.
Let’s go down stream to the land of our dreams.
Let’s go down stream to sweet Orleans.
Let’s go down stream, where the river is wide.
Let’s go down stream, and lay our shackles aside.


When you go down stream, use the paddle for a rudder.
When you go up stream, you gotta row like a mother.
Where the food is good, and the music is great.
In this river town, you may find your mate.

In times like these, the music and songwriting of Chuck LeMonds has the effect of a soothing balsam for the soul, or that of a plow turning over fresh soil in a field waiting to be planted in spring. ... more
