Lyrics
When apples still grow in November
And blossoms still bloom from each tree
When leaves are still green in December
It's then that our land will be free
I travelled the hills and the valleys
And still trough the sorrows I see
Our land that has never known freedom
And still only our rivers run free
I drink to the death of her manhood
Those men who'd rather had died
Than to live in the cold chains of bondage
To bring back their lives were denied
Oh where are you now when we need you
What burns were the flames used to be
Are you gone like the snows of last winter
And still only our rivers run free
And still only our rivers run free
How sweet is life but we're crying
How mellow the wine but it's dry
How fragrant the rose but is dying
How gentle the wind but it sighs
What good is it new when it's aging
What joy is in the eyes that can't see
When there's sorrow in sunshine and flower
And still only our rivers run free
I travelled the hills and the valleys
And still through her sorrows I see
A land that has never known freedom
And still only our rivers run free
And still only our rivers run free
And still only our rivers run free
