Were apples still grow in November
 where blossoms still bloom from each tree
 where leaves are still green in November
 its then that our land will be free
 I wander her hills and her valleys
 and still through my sorrows I see
 a land that has never known freedom
 and only her rivers run free
 I drink to the death of her manhood
 those men who rather have died
 than to live in the cold chains of bondage
 to bring back there rights were denied
 oh were are you now when we need you
 what burns were the flame used to be
 are you gone like the snow of last winter
 and will only our rivers run free
 how sweet is the life but we're crying
 how mellow the wine but its dry
 how fragrent the rose but its dying
 how gentle the breeze but it sighs
 what good is in youth when its aging
 what joy is in eyes that can't see
 when there's sorrow in sunshine and flowers
 and still only our rivers run free
