Lyrics
Song: Hallelujah Shore
Looking to cross
The muddy Fraser River
No muddy Fraser River
Can I cross?
Looking to cross
The muddy Fraser River
No muddy Fraser River
Can I cross?
The one I love’s across
The muddy Fraser River
The muddy Fraser River
Divide’s the heart.
The one I love’s across
The muddy Fraser River
The muddy Fraser River
Divide’s the heart.
Bought a ring at the trading post
Without a story or a name
Some say “aren’t you afraid of ghosts?”
I say “I see them every day, every day”
Chorus:
Drown my sorrows
On the Hallelujah Shores
No dreams for tomorrow
On the Hallelujah Shores
No baptized sons
In the muddy Fraser River
The muddy Fraser
Carries no sin
No baptized sons
In the muddy Fraser River
The muddy Fraser
Carries no sin
Can he walk across the muddy Fraser River?
Or will the muddy Fraser River down the Lord?
Can he walk across the muddy Fraser River?
Or will the muddy Fraser River down the Lord?
Broken bottle
And a high-heeled shoe
No-one’s seen her today
Ran her picture
In the daily news
Will never see her again,
Again
Chorus
