Lyrics

[Intro]
[Verse]
Lace up your boots for the morning ride
Past the old canals where the coal boats slide
Over the gravel and under the pines
Leaving the heavy world far behind
The river is talking in a low, deep tone
Moving through valleys of slate and stone
[Chorus]
Buttermilk falls on the trail
Where the white water crashes the rail
High on the mountain, deep in the green
The purest water I’ve ever seen
Buttermilk falls on the trail
[Verse]
Lehigh is winding a path through the trees
Cooling the air with a northern breeze
Stop at the bridge just to catch my breath
Watching the mist dance a life and death
Wet moss is clinging to the canyon wall
Listening to the roar of the mountain call
[Chorus]
Buttermilk falls on the trail
Where the white water crashes the rail
High on the mountain, deep in the green
The purest water I’ve ever seen
Buttermilk falls on the trail
[Bridge]
It’s a long way home to the Delaware bend
But I don’t want this journey to end
Just one more mile in the midday heat
Feel the wild earth right under my feet
[Chorus]
Buttermilk falls on the trail
Where the white water crashes the rail
High on the mountain, deep in the green
The purest water I’ve ever seen
Buttermilk falls on the trail
[Outro]
