Down by the River
View ArtistLyrics
City life was gettin' us down So we spent the weekend out of town Pitched our tent on a patch of ground Down by the river Lit a fire and drank some wine You put your jeans on top of mine I said "Come in, the water's fine" Down by the river Down by the river Down by the river Said "Come in, the water's fine" Down by the river Didn't feel too good all night So we took a walk in the morning light Came across the strangest sight Down by the river A silver fish lay on its side It was washed up by the еarly tide Wonder how it died Down by thе river Down by the river Down by the river A silver fish lay on its side Down by the river The doctor put us both to bed And dozed us up and he shook his head "Only foolish people go," he said "Down by the river" "Why do willows weep?" said he "Because they're dying gradually From waste from the factory Down by the river" Down by the river Down by the river "Why do willows weep?" said he Down by the river In time the river banks will die The reeds will wilt and the ducks won't fly There'll be a tear in the otter's eye Down by the river Banks will soon be black and dead Where the otter raised its head Will be a clean white skull instead Down by the river Down by the river Down by the river The banks will soon be black and dead Down by the river Down by the river (down by the river) Down by the river The banks will soon be black and dead Down by the river Down by the river A silver fish lay on its side Down by the river Down by the river (down by the river) Down by the river I wonder how it died Down by the river Down by the river Down by the river Banks will soon be black and dead Down by the river
