The women across the river
      F                                   C
Carry water from the well at the break of day
         C
And they talk to one another
F                              C
God only knows what they might say
          F
You might get an education after years of dedication
You might finally get a glimpse of what is right
            C
And what is wrong
                           G                        C
The women across the river well, they knew that all along

C
Women across the river
          F                                C
Work with tools that are ancient and hand- made
     C
They plough the fields in perfect rows
    F                           C
And then, they rest beneath the shade
       F
Now we have learned to build out of concrete out of steel
And our buildings last a thousand years
                                C
But then even they are bound to fall
                                G                        C
But the women across the river, never learned to build a wall

C
The women across the river
       F                          C
Are as gentle as the dew upon the ground
  C                                 F
I love to hear them laughing in the rain
                          C
When it makes the perfect sound
      F
Now a soldier with a gun and a battle to be won
                                                                  C
Might kill you with a bullet and you'd never even know the reason why
                                G                            C
But the women across the river, they can kill you with their eyes
                            G                            C
The women across the river, they can kill you with their eyes
