Does anyone know the lyrics to "Chile, your rivers run red through Soweto" or it may be "Chile, your waters run...." It has been recorded by Sweet Honey in the Rock and The Reel World String Band and maybe written by one of these groups. Thanks.

CHILE YOUR WATERS RUN RED THROUGH SOWETO

Chile your waters run red through Soweto
If you heard about Chile then you heard about Soweto
Where the blood of oppression runs deep as the mine

Chile your waters run red though Soweto
The hand that choked the spirit of Allende
Pulls the trigger of a gun on the children of Soweto

Chile your waters run red through Soweto
The hand that cut short the song of Victor Jara
Put young Steven Biko in a dusty hill grave

Chile your waters run red through Soweto
The hand of oppression is the hand of hunger
The waters of Chile lap the shores of Cape Fear

Chile your waters run red through Soweto
The same hand
The same water
