AmShe's the maid of the river
CSo beautifully plain
GAs fresh as the country
AmThat gave her her name
AmAs crisp as the snow
CAnd as swift as the rain
GShe shone like the sun
AmBefore all of our games
AmShe shone like a jewel
CBut her price was not gold
GShe cried more than most
AmWhen her story was told
AmBut her people were evil
CLeft her baron and cold
GAnd her heart went to market
AmWhere her body was sold
Chorus
I said hAmey hey wonAm/C't you takeC me away
Because GI can't see the point
In the Amdawn of the day
When soAm many killers gonnaC take you away
And leaGve little left except haAmtred
She's tEhe goddess of love
The goddAmess in green
The goddEess of all
That IAm've ever seen
Goddess Eof hope
The goddAmess in brown
The godEdess of all
That you've burned to the ground
Chorus
(repeat chord sequence throughout )
There's all kind of hatred
Flows out of man's hands
There's the hatred that strangles
The throat of a man
But the worst of all hatred
Is that which is planned
Against what we have
In this goddess of land
Chorus
