lyrics

Lyrics by Mathieu Lacombe

There is an ol' house by the river
beyond the old fence, by the black river
built by a man with his very own two hands
built by a man who worked this land
and good songs, he always sang
and he lived most of his life all alone

He told us someday he'll be gone
but this rustic house will sing his song once more

And it will have the strength to withstand
the rain, and snow, and the winds that blow for year to come
for the years that have past, by the black river the house did last
And this is where we'll make our home
raise our kids, sing our songs, grow old and tired
and looking out at the horizon, we'll sleep at last

One day we'll be gone
but this rustic house will sing our song once more
