First verse and chorus are something like this: 1st verse: on the oregon idaho border you can find a great tricklin stream some call her old hell's canyon but to me she's a heavenly dream chorus: come a rika tika tinka tinka bubblin on don't ask what a river is for come a rika tika tinka tinka bubblin on let's ask for a billion more |

Oh, wait - I don't think it's by Woody. It's Don't Ask What a River Is For (click), by Pete Seeger - and it's in our Digital Tradition Folk Song Database. Melody is "Over the Waterfall." I wonder if there's any chance you'll find this. It was buried in the "unanswered requests" thread, so I moved it here. -Joe Offer- |
