Can anyone assist and pevent yet another mondegreen? Along the Verdigris Tom Paxton Everywhere I look today, everything is green, Oklahoma's prettier now, than I have ever seen, High up in the cottonwood, an eagle builds her nest, Evening on the Verdigris is the time I love the best. Chorus Down along the Verdigris, the seasons come and go, Life is like a ,we can hear it grow, Down beneath the Arkansas and rolling to the sea, Thanks in advance All the way to New Orleans, from here on the Verdigris. Come and take a walk with me, along the Verdigris, I'll show you a sunset, that's the way it's meant to be, Blackbird heading homeward, at the closing of the day, Just like me, the Verdigris, is where she means to stay. ....Chorus My first steps were taken where the muddy water flows, All my life I've walked these hills, these hills are what I know, I tried life in Tulsa, did not a thing for me, I long to hear the birds in song, along the Verdigris. .... Chorus |

Chorus: Down along the Verdigris the seasons come and go Life is right beside you here and you can feel it flow Down to meet the Arkansas then rolling to the sea All the way to New Orleans from here on the Verdigris Come and take a walk with me, along the Verdigris, I'll show you a sunset, that's the way it's meant to be, Blackbird heading homeward, at the closing of the day, Just like me, the Verdigris, is where he means to stay.
