(Something like this - I write this by heart...) Who can complete it, pleaaaase? (Nobby) |

This is not my kind of song MY DIRTY STREAM By Pete Seeger Sailing down my dirty stream Still I love it and I'll keep the dream That someday though maybe not this year My Hudson River will once again run clear It starts high in the mountains of the north Crystal clear and icy trickles forth With just a few floating wrappers of chewing gum Dropped by some hikers to warn of things to come At Glens Fall, 5000 honest hands Work at the Consolidated Paper Plant Five million gallons of waste a day Why should we do it any other way? Down the valley one million toilet chains Find my Hudson so convenient place to drain And each little city says, "Who, me? Do you think that sewage plants come free?" In the great ocean they say the water's clear But I live at Beacon pier here Halfway between the mountains and the sea Tacking back and forth this thought returns to me Sailing up my dirty stream Still I love it and I'll dream That someday though maybe not this year My Hudson and my country will run clear.

As implied by Nobby there are some slight lyric differences between the Survial Songbook version from days of yore and the ones printed in Pete Seeger's "Where Have All The Flowers Gone" more recent book. rich r |
