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
(CHORUS)
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
