Subject: Lyr Req: This River belongs to me (Tom Yates)
Hi,

At the Tom Yates thread, Peter Hardie gave this chorus for This River belongs to me:

You can keep all your big ships and your little packets too
Your blue jacket captains and their international crew,
For this river belongs to me,
Yes, this river belongs to me.

And he commented:
The tune ... was subsequently used on Second City Spiritual on Nearly St Marie, which paled in comparison with the original song.

The original song sounds like a song I would like to know. Does anyone recall the verses?

Bye
