Short version of rules
Without using a search engine to find one, write down at least eight words of a song containing the word (or the topic, if it's a general topic).
If it's the newest word, play once, and wait for another player to play before you go again.
On older words, you can play over and over without waiting!

Got a pebble, got a pebble in my hand
And I toss it out into the middle of the Rio Grande
But that river keeps running
Don't even know that I'm around

Moon River, wider than a mile,
I'm crossing you in style, someday.

Now you say you're lonely
You cried the long night through
Well, you can cry me a river
Cry me a river
I cried a river over you

Away, you rolling river

drop me in the water

In the middle of the night,
I go walking in my sleep,
from the mountain of faith,
to the river so deep

Well we sat on the edge of the river,
the crowd screamed, "Sacrifice the liver!"
If God takes life, he's an Indian giver.
So tell me now why, you'll tell me never.
Who would wanna be?
Who would wanna be such a control freak?

Peace like a river
Ran through the city
Way past the midnight curfew
(Paul Simon)
When peace like a river
Attendeth my way

I'm gonna lay down my burden
Down by the riverside
gospel hymn
Let the river run
Let all the dreamers face the nations
Come, ye new Jerusalem
something I remember from hs choir
And on up the river is Grand Coulee Dam
The mightiest thing ever built by a man
To run the great factories and water the land
So roll on, Columbia, roll on
Woody Guthrie "Roll On, Columbia"
Gather with the saints at the river
That flows by the throne of God.
--"Shall We Gather at the River," traditional spiritual sung at baptisms.
River, take me along
in your sunshine
sing me a song
ever moving and winding and free.
You rolling old river,
you changing old river,
let's you and me river
run down to the sea.
Bill Staines
Oh, I wish I had a river
I could skate away on.
I wish I had a river so long
I would teach my feet to fly.
Oh, I wish I had a river
I could skate away on.
I made my baby cry...
Joni Mitchell
So remember the Red River valley,
And the boy who has loved you so true.
--American folk song
Big wheel keep on turnin';
Proud Mary keep on burnin'.
Rollin'! Rollin'!
Rollin' on the river!
--"Proud Mary"; Ike and Tina Turner, maybe? Several people did covers, also.
Row, row, row the boat,
Gently down the river,
If you see a polar bear,
Don't forget to shiver (BRRR)
One of the verses in Row The Boat, children's action rhyme
