Long Summer Evening

Long summer evening
Work done for the day-ay
Heading down to the river
Me and my baby to play
Work clothes on the river bank
Wash all our toil away
Hold onto each other
Nothing much to say

But we’ve got the long summer evening
We’ve got the warm summer night
And we’ve got all of each other
And we’re gonna hold on tight
We’re gonna hold on tight———––
Hold on tight

Sun going down
Behind the trees
Night comes in afallin’
Moon on the rise
The strong current of this river
Could carry us away
But we have our roots here
And tomorrow’s another day

And we’ve got the long summer evening
We’ve got the warm summer night
And we’ve got all of each other
And we’re gonna hold on tight
We’re gonna hold on tight———––
Hold on tight

          Some day we will look back
         And just long for these days 
         Down by the river
         Washing our troubles away

But we’ve got the long summer evening
We’ve got the warm summer night
And we’ve got all of each other
And we’re gonna hold on tight
We’re gonna hold on tight———––
Hold on tight

Long summer evening
Work done for the day-ay
Heading down to the river
Me and my baby to play
Work clothes on the river bank
Wash all our toil away
Hold onto each other
Nothing much to say

Yeah, we’ve got the long summer evening
We’ve got the warm summer night
And we’ve got all of each other
And we’re gonna hold on tight
We’re gonna hold on tight———––
Hold on tight

Thanks, Colleen! Always have fun singing this one. Really want to try it as a duet, if you know of any volunteers?
