City life was getting us down so we spent a weekend out of town Pitched a tent on a patch of ground Down by the river Lit a fire, drank some wine You put your jeans on top of mine Said, come in, the water's fine Down by the river Down by the river Down by the river Said come in, the waters 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 Silver fish lay on its side it was washed up by the early tide I wonder how it died Down by the river Down by the river Down by the river Silver fish lay on its side Down by the river Doctor put us us both to bed Dosed us up and he shook his head only foolish people go, he said Down by the river Why do the willows weep, said he 'Cause they're dying gradually from the waste from the factories Down by the river Down by the river Down by the river Why do the willows weep, said he Down by the rover In time the river banks will die and the reeds will wilt and the ducks won't fly There'll be a tear in the crocodiles eye Down by the river The nights will soon be black and dead Where the crocodile raised his head There'll be a thick white scum instead Down by the river Down by the river Down by the river There'll be a thick white scum 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 The banks will soon be black and dead Down by the river Down by the river Down by the river The banks will soon be black and dead Down by the river
