Down by the River [New Version]
City life was getting us down so we spent a weekend out townPitched our tent on a patch of ground down by the riverLit a fire and drank some wine you put your jeans on top of mineI said: Come inThe water's fine.Down by the riverDown by the riverDown by the riverSaid: Come in the water's fine down by the river.Didn't feel too good all nightSo we took a walk in the morning lightAnd came across the strangest sight down by the riverSilver fish lay on its side it was washed up by the early tideI wonder how it died?Down by the riverDown by the riverDown by the river...SongtexteThe doctor put us both to bedHe doesed us up and he shook his headOnly foolish people goHe saidDown by the river.The mighty willows weepSaid heBecause they're dying gradually.From the waste from the factories.Down by the riverDown by the riverDown by the river...And in time the riverbanks will dieThe reeds will wilt and the ducks won't flyThere'll be a tear in the otter's eye down by the riverThe banks will soon be black and deadAnd where the otter raised his headWill be a cleanWhite skuill instead.Down by the riverDown by the riverDown by the river...
