Hey, that's a river.

The Clarence. (Hey, that's a river.)


The ferryman never smiles,
Hey, that's a river.
Back and forth, ten thousand miles,
Hey, that's a river.

Hey, Hey, Hey... Hey, that's a river.
Hey, Hey, Hey... Hey, that's a river.

There's a twelve foot shark - could eat you alive,
Hey, that's a river!
In a photograph from nineteen thirty-five,
Hey, that's a river.

Hey, Hey, Hey... Hey, that's a river.
Hey, Hey, Hey... Hey, that's a river.

Each of the sixteen settled river islands,
Hey, that's a river.
Claims a different tartan from the Scottish Highlands,
Hey, that's a river.

Hey, Hey, Hey... Hey, that's a river.
Hey, Hey, Hey... Hey, that's a river.

Thirteen schoolboys went out one morning,
Hey, that's a river.
The boat tipped over without warning,
Hey, that's a river.

They all drowned... Hey, that's a river.
Not a body found... Hey, that's a river.

A thousand silver shimmering fish,
Hey, that's a river.
Came to be their funeral dish,
Hey that's a river.

Hey, hey, hey,.. hey, that's a river.
Hey, hey, hey... hey, that's a river.

The deep draught boats flee the ocean storm,
Hey, that's a river.
They'll be gone, before the dawn,
Hey, that's a river.

Hey, Hey, Hey... Hey, that's a river.
Hey, Hey, Hey... Hey, that's a river.
