You Can Lead a Horse to Water by Folk & Sway

Introducing, Folk & Sway~  Lyrics by Ronald Allen Bell and Amy Smart~ Mixed by Ronald Allen Bell~ Produced by Ronald Allen Bell and G-Dawg Trading~  Lyrics:  [Verse] Down by the bend where the willows sway The river hums a tune The wind it whispers tales of old Beneath the silver moon A man can work his hands to bone But still he’ll find no rest   [Chorus] You can lead a horse to water But you cannot make it drink You can love her all your life But she still will need that ring   [Verse 2] The mill wheel turns The grain gets ground The seasons come and pass A love that waits too long to bloom Will wither in the grass A promise made A promise held Is stronger than the stone   [Chorus] You can lead a horse to water But you cannot make it drink You can love her all your life But she still will need that ring   [Bridge] Oh The fiddle cries and the spoons tap fast The harmonica wails its tune The slap of knees and the clatter of hands Carry us ‘til the afternoon   [Verse 3] The barn is full The harvest stored The winter’s chill will bite But love it warms the coldest hearth And keeps the fire bright A simple vow A humble band Will keep the shadows gone   [Chorus] You can lead a horse to water But you cannot make it drink You can love her all your life But she still will need that ring
