There's a red moon rising
On the Cuyahoga River
Rolling into Cleveland to the lakeThere's a red moon rising
On the Cuyahoga River
Rolling into Cleveland to the lakeThere'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 lakeCleveland, 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 burnBurn on, big river, burn on
Burn on, big river, burn on
