Down By The River - Britten

City life was gettin＇ us down

So we spent the weekend out of town

Pitched the tent on the patch of ground

Down by the river

Lit a fire and drank some wine

You put your jeans on the top of mine

Said come in the water＇s fine

Down by the river

Down by the river

Down by the river

Said come in the water＇s fine

Down by the river

Didn＇t feel too good all night

So we took a walk in the morning light

Came across the strangest sight

Down by the river

Silver fish lay on its side

It was washed up by the early tide

I wonder how it died

Down by the river

Down by the river

Down by the river

Silver fish lay on its side

Down by the river

Doctor put us both to bed

He dosed us up and he shook his head

Only foolish people go he said

Down by the river

Why do willows weep said he

Because they＇re dying gradually

From the waste from the factories

Down by the river

Down by the river

Down by the river

Why do willows weep said he

Down by the river

In time the river banks will die

The reeds will wilt and the ducks won＇t fly

There＇ll be a tear in the otter＇s eye

Down by the river

The banks will soon be black and dead

And where the otter raised his head

Will be a clean white stone instead

Down by the river

Down by the river

Down by the river

The banks will soon be black and dead

Down by the river

Down by the river

Down by the river

The banks will soon be black and dead

Down by the river
