Rolling deep, the waters flow
Ever on, to fertile valleys
Rolling deep, the waters flow
Lead me home, lead me home.
I was once so proud and brave
I believed in god and glory
I am now a broken man
Lead me home, lead me home…
I was taken in my prime,
I was promised land and freedom
But what waited was a lie,
Lead me home, lead me home.
Rolling deep, the waters flow,
Ever on, to fertile valleys,
Rolling deep, the water flows,
Lead me home, lead me home.
I once love, and left behind
My true love and my family
For to stand among the ranks
Lead me home, lead me home
I believed my spirit strong
And my heart was pure and righteous
But I lost it in the firght,
Lead me home, lead me home.
Rolling deep, the waters flow,
Ever on, to fertile valleys,
Rolling deep, the water flows,
Lead me home, lead me home.
Once a boy, so bright was I
Once a man of strength and virtue
Once a soldier proud and brave
Lead me home, lead me home.
I’m no longer proud and pure
No longer young and strong
I look upon these bloody hands
Lead me home, lead me home.
Rolling deep, the waters flow,
Ever on, to fertile valleys,
Rolling deep, the water flows,
Lead me home, lead me home.
Rolling deep the river flow
The raging mississippi
Never Jordan shall I know,
Lead me home. Take me home.
