Peter Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You take a stick of bamboo,
You take a stick of bamboo,
You throw it in the water,
Oh, oh, Hannah.
You take a stick of bamboo,
You take a stick of bamboo,
You throw it in the water,
Oh, oh, Hannah.
River, she come down.
River, she come down.
You travel on the river,
You travel on the river,
You travel on the river,
You travel on the water,
Oh, oh, Hannah.
You travel on the river,
You travel on the river,
You travel on the river,
You travel on the water,
Oh, oh, Hannah.
River, she come down.
River, she come down.
My home's across the river,
My home's across the river.
My home's across the river,
My home's across the water.
Oh, oh, Hannah.
My home's across the river,
My home's across the river.
My home's across the river,
My home's across the water.
Oh, oh, Hannah.
River, she come down.
River, she come down.
You take a stick of bamboo,
You take a stick of bamboo,
You take a stick of bamboo,
You throw it in the water.
The lyrics of Peter Paul & Mary's song "Bamboo" tell the story of a person traveling on a river, possibly to reach a home that is across the water. The repetition of the lines "You take a stick of bamboo / You throw it in the water / Oh, oh, Hannah" creates a sense of rhythmic movement, evoking the flow of the river and suggesting the simplicity of the means of transport. The use of the name "Hannah" may be a reference to a traditional folk tune or just a name that fits the melody. The line "River, she come down" emphasizes the power and inevitability of the natural force that shapes the traveler's path.
The song combines elements of African American and Caribbean musical traditions with a folk-pop sensibility, showcasing the influence of global cultures on American music. The bamboo stick, a versatile and sustainable material that can be used for various purposes, becomes a symbol of the traveler's resilience and adaptability. The metaphor of the river as a journey through life also suggests the theme of searching for a better place or a sense of belonging. The song's simple structure, catchy melody, and singable chorus make it an example of the group's ability to create accessible and memorable songs that convey a message of hope and unity.
