about

"Mud Flows Down The River” is a song influenced by man made disasters of the world, most notably the eradication of the passenger pigeon due to deforestation and the Dust Bowl.
Gary Ferguson and Fintan Hanley met through the Transatlantic Music Network, a Facebook music group Gary hosts. Thus began a whirlwind writing and recording session. Voice memos were sent, lyrics and mp3's were emailed back and forth. They moved quickly but carefully through the whole process. Before they knew it, the song was born.
Aided by the talents of Colin Henry, Donna Murray, Joseph Murray, Ron Stewart and George Hodgkiss the recording went quickly and smoothly.

lyrics

Well the passenger pigeon turned to me
On his death bed he was broken
Not in our lifetime that’s what we said
Would we see these things left unspoken

Dust storms crackled electricity
The black blizzard called on judgment day
It was night time all around us
All we could do is pray

Mud flows down the river
Dust blows through the plains
Mother Natures crying

Turn one deaf ear to the ground
And one blind eye to the sky
Laugh, carry on and pretend
You don’t know the reasons why

Mud flows down the river
Dust blows through the plains
And its just around the corner now

The forest was our home but you cut her apart
You killed all the trees for the money
Not in our lifetime that’s what you said
Just before the dustbowl hit

Mud flows down the river
Dust blows through the plains
Mother nature’s crying
It’s just ourselves to blame
Mud flows down the river
Dust blows through the plains
And its just around the corner now

Gary Ferguson (Gunny Sack Music, BMI)
