Susquehanna
From Avenue of the Saints
Running like a hilltown girl
Rolling down into the world
Over creek beds and cobblestones
Moving easy, then you're gone
Susquehanna honey babe
Through the woods your path I trace
Lines of laughter on your face
Crows feet on your muddy banks
Meet me down in Marysville
Where Miss Liberty is standing still
Bless the floodplain, and the Rockville Bridge
And the coal cars on the edge
Susquehanna sugar babe
With you I would go all the way
All the way to the Chesapeake
Before you wander out to sea
