I grew up by a river
Down stream from a tannery
Sometimes the smell was so bad
You did your best not to breathe
And with my best friend, Slim McCready
When we had nothing to do
We'd set sail for the ocean
In my brother's canoe

We caught eels in that river
We'd bring'em home
Put'em in a laundry sink
When we woke up in the morning
The sink was empty, I didn't know what to think
McCreedy said
Don't worry brother
I know what to do
Them eels is headin for the river
And we should too

We found them in the park
Between the river and the sink
They was dead as stone
Must of been runnin on, instinct
McCreedy grabbed a shovel
And then he dug a hole
He gently lay them eels down in it
He said
Even eels got a soul
And then he covered them up
And he checked out the view, he said
Somewhere beyond this dirty old river
There lies an ocean blue
Go get your brother's canoe
