not sure if it's what you were wanting

I think the title is actually "Goodbye to the River", also called the "Anti-Dam" song. I couldn't find it, but Annie has a website.....Rattlesnake Annie"

Copied from Annie's web site:

GOODBYE TO A RIVER
(Rattlesnake Annie, © 1998 - 2002 Rattlesnake Records)

CHO: Goodbye to a river. Goodbye to the trees
Goodbye to the night birds that sing in the breeze.
They're building a dam and it's too late to cry.
Brazos de Dios, adios, goodbye.

I love you in springtime when the wildflowers bloom.
I love your summer sky with its big yellow moon.
I love you in autumn and when the whippoorwills call.
I love your people most of all. CHO.

The men with the power say it's just what we need,
But I'll tell you folks it's a matter of greed.
They'll dam up the water and cover our land.
Then chalk it all up to advancement of man. CHO.
