At the bottom of the world runs a river of black It pushes one man forward and a million back At the source it flows from an ancient hole At the end this river goes up in smoke It runs so fast but it's thick as pitch It's served by the ones the river made rich They call it Rio de Oro Negro River of Black Gold They say it's better to burn than to fade away Read 'em and weep, the river burns today Many seek their fortune in the river of gold Some get pulled under and others explode A few find treasure and purpose I'm told But when we all fall down into the river we go Into Rio de Oro Negro River of Black Gold The current she pushes like a mystery train Driving sweet black smoke up into my brain I lost my senses, but not my nerve And I'm headed to the place that I deserve There is only one reason on this earth I abide It is to cross this river and seek out the other side Of the Rio de Oro Negro River of Black Gold
