The Sloop Clearwater

I was sitting on my front porch as I watched the river rot, Thinking about the sturgeon that are gone but not forgot And the buffalo an restless underneath the prairie sod And the smoke stacked up to heaven so's it hid the face of God There were soldiers marching by my door and a tap upon my phone And a freeway inching toward me that would someday eat my home And the smokestacks hid a sunset that would never come again When they brought the Sloop Clearwater a-sailing 'round the bend. The captain had a mustache that was fourteen inches long And the shanty master paced the deck a-roaring out a song And the man who held the tiller wore his hair down to his knees And a hundred tons of canvas billowed out into the breeze. But Redwood trees are crashing down out on the Western coast And an angry shadowy army follows Crazy Horse's ghost And the eagle's nest's as barren as the mountain lion's den On the day the Sloop Clearwater came sailing 'round the bend. The ship cut through the sewage lying on the river's face And the sloop docked in the garbage that was all around the place And the crew struck up a hornpipe and the boots rang on the wood And the sound fell on the river and the river found it good. But there's lightening in the Asian sky and thunder in the slums You can hear the Indians tuning up their long forgotten drums Children clap their hands and laugh as men are killing men On the day the Sloop Clearwater came a-sailing 'round the bend. I said you people all are fools to laugh and sing and shout When your ship's so deep in liquid shit it never will get out When children cry from hunger and grown men get mean from shame And a war rages in every heart and the very ground's in flame. You sail your dirty river and you sing your little songs
