Oh the women 'cross the river
carry water from the well at break of day
And they talk to one another;
God only knows what they might say
You might get an education after years of dedication
You might finally get a glimpse of what is right and what is wrong
But the women 'cross the river; well they knew that all along

Oh the women 'cross the river
work with tools that are ancient and hand-made
And they plow their fields in perfect rows
and then they rest beneath the shade
Now we have learned to build, out of concrete, out of steel
And our buildings stand a thousand years
but then even they are bound to fall
But the women 'cross the river never learned to build a wall

Oh the women 'cross the river are
as gentle as the dew upon the ground
How I love to hear them laughing in the rain
when it makes that perfect sound
Now a soldier with a gun and a battle to be won
Might kill you with a bullet and you never even know the reason why
But the women 'cross the river; they can kill you with their eyes

Oh the women 'cross the river; they can kill you with their eyes
