about

Once I climbed a mountain, the tallest in the world.
Well I stayed there for awhile with my pretty little girl
Yeah I stayed there with my pretty little girl

Well we stayed up on that mountain, and then what did we do?
Yeah that mountain it came crashing down and we tumbled two by two Yeah we tumbled down, we tumbled two by two.

Well the road it keeps on winding this is just another bend
And I know that we'll all make it in the end.
The river of life keeps flowing on and on,
and I'll see you when we get there my old friend.

Well, once I climbed a big oak tree, the oldest in the world,
Stayed in those boughs awhile just thinking bout that girl
yeah I stayed there just thinking bout that girl.

Well I went to the open prairie and I looked up to the sky,
Said "Goddamn well I won't know if I wont know if I don't try"
Said "Goddamn well I won't know if i don't try"

Well the sun will rise tomorrow, it'll be another day,
The sun will come a'shining down and light me on my way,
Yeah the sun will shine and light me on my way.

Well I went to the river valley, the widest i had seen,
I stayed there for the rest of my life just following my dreams,
Yeah i stayed there just following my dreams

The road it keeps on winding this is just another bend
and I know that we'll all make it in the end.
The river of life keeps flowing on and on,
And I'll see you when we get there my old friend.

[oooh-oooh-oooh] [oooh-oooh-oooh]
[oooh-oooh-oooh] [oooh-oooh-oooh]

[oooh-oooh-oooh]
Well, the river of life keeps flowing on my friends,
[oooh-oooh-oooh]
And I know that we'll all make it in the end
[oooh-oooh-oooh]
No I won't let life make a fool of me
[oooh-oooh-oooh]
Gonna grow some roots and branches and plant some seeds,

Well, once I climbed a mountain, the tallest in the world....

What began as a few friends playing songs along the banks of the river has formed to become the bluegrass/newgrass band that is River Valley Rangers. They have a high-energy stringband sound that is firmly rooted in bluegrass yet draws on a variety of musical influences. They have a love of the great outdoors, long rides on the motorcycle, river-valleys, good friends, family, food, and drink. ... more
