There’s a legend told by campfires Of a warrior and a maid Warring nations and the old times And the price two lovers paid Two great rivers flowed between them As the war drums haunting beat Led the warrior to the maiden Flaming village in defeat Where the mighty rivers meet Brave young warrior died in battle Then in winter, fever came Took the maiden and the baby Grieving fathers shared the blame Restless spirits roamed the mountain Drifting down in forest streams Come to rest in peaceful waters As they ‘waken from their dreams Where the mighty rivers meet Mighty rivers deep and strong And as the river flows Their love goes on and on and on There’s a legend told by firelight Of two rivers wide and deep Holding spirits of two lovers And a baby fast asleep If you go there in the moonlight Hear the sound of splashing feet Quiet whispers in the treetops And the war drums haunting beat Where the mighty rivers meet
