Lyrics:
And they lived in an alley under the red sky
There was an old man and he lived in the moon
One summer's day he came passing by
There was an old man and he
in the good ol' days
We'll have a big hand shakin'
An' sit and talk together
Sit down by the river Jordan and sing our blues away
Oh you talk
into night
These are the days by the sparkling river
His timely grace and our treasured find
This is the love of the one magician
Turned the water
By the banks of the river where the willows grow cold
Wild birds warble the strange soundin' song
By the banks of the river where the waters run
Sky, so vast is the sky
With far away clouds just wandering by
Where do they go?
Oh, I don't know, don't know
Wind that speaks to the leaves
on along
Let me take you by the hand
Up to the man, up to the man
Who's the leader of the band
And if you want to hear the Swanee River played in
by
The past we've brought along
It's just you and me
One ship in the night
There are no boundaries
There is no end in sight
That was a river
By the rivers of Babylon ,
Where he sat down,
And there he wept
When he remembered Zion
Oh, the wicked carried us away in captivity,
Memphis, but she just walked up the block.
She raised a few eyebrows and then she went on down alone.
Now, won't you batter down by Baton Rouge, River
Late last night, I went for a walk
Down by the river near my home
Couldn't believe, with my own eyes
And I swear I'll never leave my home again
wonder bit by bit
We condescend and in the end
We lose our very souls
Goodbye to a river
Goodbye to a river
So long
The dirty water washes down
Whenever there's music
The Devil kicks
He don't allow music
By the river Styx
You sinners drop everything
Let the melody and the harmony ring
eyes
River town is burning, the clouds they roll on by, roll on by
She said I'm alright if you're hangin' on
Be your shoulder, lay your troubles on,
,Come on along, let me take you by the hand Up to the Man,Up to
The man who's the leader of the band, And if you want to hear the Swanee River
Played in
Woah, my love, my darling
I've hungered for your touch
A long, lonely time
And time goes by so slowly
And time can do so much
Are you still
And it gets stronger, in every way (in every way)
And it gets deeper, let me say (let me say)
It gets higher, day by day (day by day)
Oh, do I love
the corner,
Not right away, not right away.
Close to the edge, down by a river,
Not right away, not right away.
Crossed the line around the changes
Late in the evening out in the square
A man in a raincoat standing there
We met by the lamp where the newsboy cried
He stole my heart with his
your
River, river river, river, yeah
Wherever you're standing
I will be by your side
Through the good, through the bad
I'll never be hard to find
So
the greasy grass river
And wash my hair where the water's clean
Said lay me down by the greasy grass river
And unfold my mystery
The greasy grass river has
Far across the deep blue water lives an old German's daughter
By the banks of the old River Rhine
Where I loved her and lost her but I can't forget
just walked up the block
Raised a few eyebrows and then she went on down alone
Now, won't you batter down by Baton Rouge, River Queen, roll it
the ocean gleams beneath a sky so blue and cloudless
Heaving tides and shifting sands
Walk among ancient trees, scented by flowers
Silent in the holy hush
Suzanne takes you dow-own
To her place by the river
You can hear the boats go by
You can spend the night forever
And you know the girl's
