lyrics

I'll meet you down by the river, down by the river
Down by the river to see what we can see
Down by the river, by the Hudson River
Down by the river, that's where I want to be

You may be feeling cramped and crowded
You may be feeling restless and bored
I know a place can cures what ails you
Leave you refreshed, leave your mind restored

I'll meet you down by the river, down by the river
Down by the river to see what we can see
Down by the river, by the Hudson river
Down by the river, that's where I want to be

You never know what you might find there
You never know what the tide will bring
But I know you'll find peace of mind there
Something about it makes me want to sing

I'll meet you down by the river, down by the river
Down by the river to see what we can see
Down by the river, by the Hudson River
Down by the river, that's where I want to be

Just make your way down to the water
That river will bring the world to your feet
Might be something washed down from the mountains
Or dredged right up from the ocean deep

I'll meet you down by the river, down by the river
Down by the river to see what we can see
Down by the river, by the Hudson River
Down by the river, that's where I want to be

Once we got careless about out river
Let it fill up with pollution and trash
Now we're trying hard to protect it
Want to make sure that our river will last

I'll meet you down by the river, down by the river
Down by the river to see what we can see
Down by the river, by the Hudson River
Down by the river, that's where I want to be
