	Lyrics Joe Sutherland lived North from here, log cabin on a lake Homesteaded there after the war with his love Elaine When work was done, the wood was cut, the baking set to cool Theyd go on down to Echo Point to see the rivers view Theyd call Hello.. The river bent and twisted there, it ran so cold and deep A quarter mile from shore to shore, the current tossed and leaped Dark water rushed between steep hills, the West side Curry Ridge Elaine would dream of crossing it, she wished there was a bridge One day Elaine she told her love she couldnt stay no more The hills and lake were too lonely she crept out in the morn Before she flagged a freight to town she stopped on her way down Looked at that river shed never cross and called that lonesome sound Hello Joe was sleeping when she left the house, he woke up with a sigh Elaine he said, she wasnt there, he thought that he would die The land had never felt so big, the river never so wide He stood alone at Echo Point and all alone he cried Hello Its 30 years now since Joe died and no one lives there still The path they took is overgrown and hidden on that hill Ive heard from several local guides whove rafted there downstream Theyve heard a sound come from that hill and echo like a dream Hello
