Oh river man, calm, cool and pure
Take me in your currents and drown me in your cure
River man, please tell me the story of how it all began
How on separate sides of the bank, two lovers sang
The Herring and the gull, the fish and the newt
River man, oh river man come and play your flute
Gentle are the breezes and natural are your winds
Oh river man tell me what song do lovers sing
Blue waters and blue sky
River man don't dare you die
Without your guiding ways and knowledge oh so deep
River man, river man what secrets do you keep
Is it true i am the river man?
More creature than mortal man?
River man can i be the willow tree instead
Am I the River man who lays upon the river bed?
