I’m going down to sit by the river.
I’m going down to sit in the sun.
Got all I want, don’t need no money,
to sit by the river in the morning sun.

When my head is full and my thoughts are spinning,
need away to slow it down.
Don’t wanna take no pills or potions.
I know there’s a better way.

I’m going down to sit by the river.
I’m going down to sit in the sun.
Got all I want, don’t need no money,
to sit by the river in the morning sun.

I could turn on the television,
watch the soaps ‘till my brain is washed.
Fill myself with wine and whiskey.
I know there’s a better way.

I’m going down to sit by the river.
I’m going down to sit in the sun.
Got all I want, don’t need no money,
to sit by the river in the morning sun.

If you’ve got nothing else to do,
or even if you’ve got too much,

Leave it all and come with me, 'cos...

I’m going down to sit by the river.
I’m going down to sit in the sun.
Got all I want, don’t need no money,
to sit by the river in the morning sun.
