歌詞: Kate & Anna McGarrigle. The McGarrigle Hour. Cool River.

Cool river wash my tears away
Let your blue waves hide me from the day
It's the only way
Cool river hear my plea
Take me with you to the sea, to the sea

I've waded knee-high in troubles not my own
Now that I've got mine, I'm sinking all alone

Cool river wash my tears away
Let your blue waves hide me from the day
It's the only way
Cool river hear my plea
Take me with you, to the sea, to the sea

I have tried praying
To God and his saints on high
But they don't hear me
I'm gonna kiss this world good-bye

Cool river wash my tears away
To the sea, to the sea
To the sea, to the sea
