I'm gonna build myself a raft And float the river down I'll build myself a raft In some other town ♪ I'm going down to the river I'm gonna take a rocking chair If my loving arms don't fail I'll rock away from there ♪ I'm gonna grow my hair so long 'Til it drags on the ground I'll tie it up, I'll tie it 'round But I ain't no hand-me-down No hand-me-down ♪ Well, I can't say I'm unaware I can't feel misunderstood I can't blame a wayward prayer For loving things that ain't no good Ain't no good I can't say I'm unaware I can't feel misunderstood I can't blame a wayward prayer For loving things that ain't no good That ain't no good ♪ So I rock myself to sleep I'm gonna rock myself to sleep I'm gonna rock myself to sleep 'Til the answers grow on trees They grow on trees
