There's a red moon rising

On the Cuyahoga River

Rolling into Cleveland to the lake



There's a red moon rising

ON the Cuyahoga River

Rolling into Cleveland to the lake



There's an oil barge winding

Down the Cuyahoga River

Rolling into Cleveland to the lake



There's an oil barge winding

Down the Cuyahoga River

Rolling into Cleveland to the lake



Cleveland, city of light, city of magic

Cleveland, city of light, you're calling me

Cleveland, even now I can remember

'Cause the Cuyahoga River

Goes smokin' through my dreams



Burn on, big river, burn on

Burn on, big river, burn on

Now the Lord can make you tumble

And the Lord can make you turn

And the Lord can make you overflow

But the Lord can't make you burn



Burn on, big river, burn on

Burn on, big river, burn on
