[00:11.009]Women 'cross the river
[00:13.157]Carry water from the well at break of day
[00:21.754]And they talk to one another
[00:25.237]God only knows what they might say
[00:32.726]You might get an education
[00:35.588]After years of dedication
[00:38.220]You might finally get a glimpse
[00:40.697]Of what is right and what is wrong
[00:49.280]But the women 'cross the river
[00:53.082]Well they knew that all along
[01:00.396]Oh the women 'cross the river
[01:02.977]Work with tools that are ancient and hand made
[01:11.335]And they plow their fields in perfect rows
[01:14.507]And then they rest beneath the shade
[01:22.480]Now we have learned to build
[01:25.200]Out of concrete  out of steel
[01:27.758]And our buildings stand a thousand years
[01:30.884]But then even they are bound to fall
[01:38.986]But the women 'cross the river
[01:42.756]Never learned to build a wall
[02:17.638]Oh the women 'cross the river
[02:20.481]Are as gentle as the dew upon the ground
[02:28.587]How I love to hear them laughing in the rain
[02:32.701]When it makes that perfect sound
[02:39.630]Now a soldier with a gun and a battle to be won
[02:45.207]Might kill you with a bullet
[02:47.816]And you never even know the reason why
[02:56.222]But the women 'cross the river
[02:59.986]They can kill you with their eyes
[03:07.294]Oh the women 'cross the river
[03:11.012]They can kill you with their eyes
