Lyrics:

When apples still grow in November
When blossoms still grow on each tree
When leaves are still green in December
Its then that our land will be free

I wander your hills and your valleys
Yet still through my sorrow I see
A land that has never known freedom
And only our rivers run free

I drink to the death of her manhood
Those men who would rather have died
Than to live in the cold chains of bondage
To bring back their rights were denied

Oh where are you now when we need you
What burns where the flame used to be
Are you gone like the snows of last winter
And will only our rivers run free

How sweet is life when it’s crying
How mellow the wine but its dry
How fragrant the rose but its dying
How gentle the breeze but a sigh

What good is in youth when it’s 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

What good is in youth when it’s aging
What joy are in eyes that can't see
When there's sorrow in sunshine and flowers
And still only our rivers run free
