Down on the river it´s an easy kind of life Everybody here´s feeling fine No need to worry or get in a hurry Nothing to spend but time Light up a smoke and tell a few jokes
And pass the old jug around We´re gonna get right on a Saturday night When the sun goes down
Down on the river Down on the river Just some old boys making a lot of noise Down on the river Down on the river Down on the river If anyone calls, tell them we´re all Down on the river
We´ll go fishing by the light of the moon And bait them hooks by hand And early in the morning we´ll take them off the line Fry ´em all up in a pan
We gotta get home while we still got a job Or we´ll have to answer to the man And everybody knows though we gotta go We´ll be back again
Down on the river Down on the river Just some old boys making a lot of noise Down on the river Down on the river Down on the river If anyone calls, tell them we´re all Down on the river
