Lyrics:
daddy took me to the river
once a week
lined the beer cans up against
a tree
shot that 22 until
there was nothing left but empties
scattered with our will
o, Neosho won’t you carry me away?
southbound to Texas to the Gulf and far away
i don’t mind being lonely, so long as i am free
o, Neosho, Neosho carry me
“o my darling, you will
never understand,
the price you pay when
you claim to be a man
all you do is run and play
you skin your knee, it’s not the same”
o, Neosho won’t you carry me away?
southbound to Texas to the Gulf and far away
i don’t mind being lonely, so long as i am free
o, Neosho, Neosho carry me
some men aren’t the
kind you put into a grave
they turn to ashes, they turn to gray
some are loosed into the wind
i gave my daddy to the river
to wash him of his sin
o, Neosho won’t you carry me away?
southbound to Texas to the Gulf and far away
i don’t mind being lonely, so long as i am free
o, Neosho, Neosho carry me - Hudba
She still has it. The voice. The ability to assemble words like that. The ability to make music like that../..
THAT is how you ooze soul.
This song touched my heart. My dad used to take us kids fishing at this river, and even though he's passed away and all of us kids have moved out of Kansas, Neosho will always be a part of my memories. I'm proud to say that I was born in Chanute, and grew up in southeast Kansas. Thank you for making such a beautiful song and helping me to relive those fun memories!
Thank You 🙏💜
Actual music.
Amazing, isn't it?
Beautiful song, Jennifer! And I do love your voice!! Cool video, too.
I've listened to this song a zillion times and love it every time. So soothing. Jennifer, please keep going!! Your true fans support you no matter what!! XOX
Someone finally captured that sentiment in song. My dad left when I was 5. I saw him a few more times. We talked on the phone regularly. It was as it should have been. It hurt like hell. And, He wasn't a bad dad. Sometimes life just is what it is. And some songs remind us that it is because things were what they were. IDK, anyway. Someone finally captured that sentiment that has resounded within me for as long as I can recall and put it in a song. Figures it would be Jennifer Knapp. Her music has always hit home with me. Hands down, my all time favorite, never get tired of it because it speaks to my soul, favorite artist. I am glad I have run back into her music, still speaks to my soul like her music always has. Or maybe I should say, speaks for my soul, like any great music should, at least for some, if not all.
Gotta love sek
love this song, the way the human conection with nature can be so familiarly portrayed and experienced, familiar enough to be actually mediated by a parent, by a major family member, and familiar enough to carry lifestories along its waters, its pathways and flow. A lot of stories and memories flowing along with the river. The native american name of the River, her own intimate story with the river, as something that could be tracked far back to stories that come our way from too long ago, so long it transcends the spot, the scenario, the landscape where one might be standing at. A trip into the flow of the river itself, the road towards it broght forth by the pick up truck and its image, and into Jennifer's upbringing. A beautiful scape into her personal "golden age". So simple and yet sacred. Jennifer is truly a spiritual human being. One can be an atheist and yet very spiritual when they bound to life's deep and mysterious meaningfulness and acknowledge it. I guess she seems so eager to perceive so much significance in life, even and perhaps, especially, tiny little things.A sensitive artist indeed. And I guess the orchesttration and the intruments convey the ambience to all this perception so fit, so well.
You're such an inspiration to me and I'm sure many others as well. I've been following your journey since your Kansas album. You've been a favorite since I was a young teen. Love you, Jennifer and keep doing what you love. You're incredible.
I’m with you, her music has carried me through good times and bad. She’s still got it
This song has a Johnny Cash feel to it 👍
WOW, THAT is what I was hearing. I was tryihng to figure it out.
But yes, I could hear Johhny sing this.
Love her music
Beautiful! Best Jen Knapp album ever!! This song is one of my favorites.
LOve thisssssss
This is a such a beautiful video .. fits the song perfectly
This song really resonates in me. I spent a lot of time on the Neosho River, jumping off the bluffs, trying to get away from the troubles at home.
The video & lyrics are sad & melancholy, the melody is hauntingly beautiful.
don't normally listen to this type of music but this song is really good not only do I live on the neosho I live 20 miles south of where she's from
Literally cried on this... So moving. Thanks, Jennifer.
Neosho!! My hometown
Amazing as usual!! Such a story here..
This is awesome, thank you for doing this for us! Made me cry, thinking of my dad who passed a long time ago. Can't wait to see more videos :) Absolutely gorgeous song. Beautiful and haunting.
tight tight tight

Woo hoo! Glad to have great work from an such an amazing person/artist! Hope there is more to come! Beautifully done!
Beautiful
You have a beautiful voice id love to hear you perform in person
I love this song ♡
Jennifer, wow! Now I guess I will have to start saving up for that bottle of fancy schmanzy Scotch! Great job and hurry back to California...
I miss that teenage-girl voice from way back - but your voice has matured and become more (what is the word?) solemn? deep? acoustic? Now, here is a request - I'd find it interesting to see you do 'new versions' (not sure what I mean about that) of songs like Jars of Clay's "Liquid", or some of Sixpence's stuff. In any event, thinking of you always brings a smile to my face.
Your music went from objectively revealing Christ and discerning the holy spirit to people... To talking about people's experiences and feelings...
I left my home state of California to move to the beautiful state of Missouri and now live in Neosho to give my children a better life away from all the propaganda and the pushing of transgenderism and gay lifestyle.
The song sounds like you just did the opposite of what we did. That breaks my heart and I hope that one day you truly surrender your life to Jesus Christ and turn for your sin. Life is short and it's not worth living it in the flesh of sin.
Ok so I know this is probably not where you want to be answering questions regarding your sexuality, but I have recently watched some interviews and find you to be very convincing on the topic. You are one of my absolute favorite artists and I fully accept you no matter your orientation. However the part I find hard to swallow is, that as much as you speak about people accepting someone how they are, and not just focusing on ideals, why do then disregard sound biblical teaching to support your chosen way of life? There is no reason to distort truth to justify your lifestyle, if your not worried about how others think of you. This is a hard subject, I understand that but wouldn't it be much more truthful to admit that eventhough your lifestyle doesn't line up with biblical teaching, this is who you are and that is something you feel you cannot change. Leave the ball in God's court. It doesn't need justification. Justification many times is really blasphemy because in no way can someone in their right mind Christian or not justify not only homosexuality but fornication from a biblical standpoint. There are many things in life we do not understand but the bible is very clear. Please don't pollute the truth for your own vindication. I'm sorry that many are so judgemental and because of that it is a great temptation to try and convince others of a different truth. But the real truth is that, there are many reasons for the way people are and it is not our place to judge, we should love others in spite of any inadequacy. But to lead others astray by false doctrine, now that is to be judged. We as Christians have to judge that, otherwise we become fooled by modern and new age thinking. Lastly, I'm not sure if you believe you were born that way, but if I had one burning question for you, it would be: How do you explain the testimony of other men and women who claim to have been loosed from the grip of homosexuality by healing and transformation, from the same God you serve? And don't you think it is possible that is His will and you could have that same freedom, seeing as how that is the original design laid out in His holy word?
Show me in the Bible where it says that God and Christ do not love all and want us to do the same!!! I want Chapters & Verses!!! DJ
JeanGenie127 Sin is sin. Whether you murder, lie, or are homosexual. Your comment is true God loves and calls us to do the same. He also says not to call darkness light and light, darkness.
Still see no Chapters or Verses . . . DJ
@@nelliesthoughtsexactly4398 Hey. Nellie. Listen. If you want to get right with God... tap the dust off your sandles, and walk the heck outta town there, pard'ner. *tips hat*
He set me free from the lie of homosexuality, and I pray that like me, Jennifer will not be able to stop the conviction of the Holy Spirit until she truly decides to lay aside her flesh and take up her cross daily and follow Him. 1 Peter 1:16
What's with the hair? Should we now hear about your views on gender identity? You're losing me as a fan!
