Judy Collins (born Judith Marjorie Collins on May 1, 1939, in Seattle, Washington) is an American singer and songwriter known for the eclectic range of material she records (which has included folk, show tunes, pop, and rock and roll, as well as and standards) and for her social activism. Beginning in 1959, she was drawn to the music of Woody Guthrie and Pete Seeger, and the traditional songs of the folk revival of the early 1960s. In 1968 she was awarded a Grammy for "Both Sides Now".

[Verse 1] C I'm going down to the riverbank this morning FCG Way before the family is awake AmC Gonna lay me down at the foot of the water FCGAm And spill out all my troubles for everyone's sake
[Verse 2] C You can't have love when you never can surrender FCG I've been spreading around my anger like a plague FD I have sailed this far with my boat on fire FDEm Fighting flames each day, too stubborn to expire
{Chorus] FAm I will soak my soul G Let the river take control D The river take control FAm And I know it's not too late G To let go the weight Am To let go the weight
[Verse 3] C The sun will rise and shine on me this morning FCG It will seep its way into my heart AmC And untie all the knots that have hardened me through the years FCGAm And I'll embrace the wisdom that sun will impart
[Verse 4] C And with this heat burning inside me FCG I will warm all the people that I love FD In their darkest hours and the weakest of minds FDEm I'll light up their nights with every star I can find__
{Chorus] FAm I will soak my soul G Let the river take control D The river take control FAm And I know it's not too late G To let go the weight
To let go___
{Chorus] FAm Oh, I will soak my soul G Let the river take control D The river take control FAm And I know it's not too late G To let go the weight Am To let go the weight
[Outro] FAm Ooh ooh ooh, etc. FAm Ooh ooh ooh, etc. FAm Ooh ooh ooh, etc. FAm Ooh ooh ooh, etc.
