Back to the river again, again
Back to the river again

Well, if there's a river of life, of life
It is a river of light, of light

Down by the river with my friends, my friends
Down by the river with my friends

Down by the river, joined a band, joined a band
Down by the river, joined the angel band

There's a mermaid down the shore
She heard music, she says, "Hello"
And there's my wife at the river's edge
Oh, we came to be happy again

Back to the river again, again
Back to the river again

Well, if there's a river of life, of life
It is a river of light, of light

Down in the water with my son, with my baby
Down in the water with my son
Well, I got water up my nose, up my nose
I got holy water right up my nose

There's a captain on the the shore
He heard music, he said, "Hello"
I lived my life at the river's edge
Now I want to be happy again

Cut it

Back to the river again, again
Back to the river again

It is a river of light, of light
It is a river of light, of light

There's a people on the shore
They heard music, they said, "Hello"
Here's our life at the river's edge
Oh, we want to be happy again
