Story Behind the Song
New River is history told in a song. The lyricist-as-balladeer relates, “It came out of the ground/with a thunderous sound/the Seminoles fell to their knees/the river was new/the spirits did seem to be pleased/it started a new life on the river/replaced overland routes to the sea.” Later, “The pioneers came/seeking fortune and fame/They landed their ships on the shore.”Their ships remained strong through hurricanes. Listen, and enjoy the tale of New River.
