Je score:
(Choir) When I went down to the river today Oh Mama I began to pray When I went down to the river today Oh Mama no music played When the river came down on us today Brothers and sisters we began to pray When the river came down on us today Oh Mama no music played Hear now Mama I tell you no lies Today was the day that the music died Brothers and sisters I tell you no lies Today was the day that the music died... (Koos) Do you believe in rock 'n' roll? Do you believe in Levi jeans? Have you heard about the trouble In downtown New Orleans? They say the Emperor strummed guitar While the politicians lied There was no one there to lend a hand The day the music died Do you remember New Orleans And do you really care? It was the city where the blues was born The cradle of despair Now it's halfway under water And no one's jamming there no more There was no place to run and hide The day the music died The day the music died (Choir) Heeeyyy x 4 (Koos) Now there's destruction on the planet A deadly silence reigns the Earth White noise and elevator music Is drowning everything of worth All the songs we used to sing All those melodies we knew All those riffs and licks and choruses That meant so much to me and you Might soon be all forgotten If what I say is true There was death and terror far and wide When mothers wept and babies cried The day the music died What's the matter with America? What's happened to the dream? All those pledges of allegiance Have turned into a scream We built this city for destruction There was no refuge from the tide We had no melody left to play The day the music died (Choir) Heeeyyy x 9 (Koos) We had no melody left to play The day the music died The day the music died
