Chippewa River Home

Chippewa River flow
And how much gravel and sand
You’ve thrown in my eyes
Still water by design
Always blinds me like divine
How I’ve come to see
Let these bones rest by
My Chippewa River home
Hits me late into the night
Tomorrow morning, six feet high
It don’t bother me
As the fall closing tight
There’s no Nine Mile in sight
Missing everything
Well it comes and it goes
Near my Chippewa River home
The old slue is running fin
And Dead Lake nevr minds
Having company
With these hills by my side
And underfeet agates hide
Honey where’d you go
Well they run with the snow
Near my Chippewa River home
Well my heart’s fallen fast
When the stars have got my back
Standing o’er the bend
And that sweet summer rain
That only pipping thunder can bring
Coming o’er the mist
Well the plumb suits my soul
Near my Chippewa River home
Chippewa River flow
And how much gravel and sand
You’ve thrown in my eyes
Still water by design
Always blinds me like divine
How I’ve come to see
Let these bones rest by
Let these bones rest by
Let these bones rest by
My Chippewa River home
