Lyrics

Somewhere near the river Oh the Kankakee's waters A Dave fell for a Donna My Father for my Mother Oh Kankakee, carry me to my family Oh Kankakee, carry me to my home They say I look just like my Granddad And by that photo I have seen I would agree Lord, I need to know what angels And what demons are a part of me Cause my blood flows with the waters Of the Kankakee And when I find that river I'll find my family Oh Kankakee, carry me to my family Oh Kankakee, carry me to my home So Mom, tell me the stories about my history Right the wrongs and flag the mines Of the doom that can escape repeat Cause my blood flows with the waters Of the Kankakee And when I find that river I'll find my family Oh Kankakee, carry me to my family Oh Kankakee, carry me to my home
