Over the Waterfall
I thought I knew what I was doingI was wrongMistakes I've made and lived to tellI tell them in a songI knew a river wide and deepHer banks were very tallAt one end was a mountain streamThe other was a waterfall, boysThe other was a waterfallI asked the old man by the riverHe did not recallThe last attempt to ride a barrelOver the waterfallThe ferry boatman, he did tell meThat the chance was very smallNone survived who went aliveOver the waterfall, boysOver the waterfallSo I built myself an oaken barrelAnd inside I did crawlI broke the record but I broke my backGoing over the waterfallSongtexteAnd it's been my luck to live to tellThe only tale I canIt don't hurt you when you fallOnly when you land, boysOnly when you land Aus Songtexte Mania
