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
