(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
