Underground Lyrics - Arlo Guthrie

words and music by Arlo Guthrie 

There's a river running underground 

That roll along the clay 

That took my body when I laid it down 

And carried it far away 

It's too damned dark for you to see 

So I did not protest 

My soul shook free, you can't have me 

But you may keep the rest 

The waters weep, the sickles reap 

My hands are cold with sweat 

The eagle screams with frightened wings 

The dust does not forget
