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
