When I was thirteen All my friends made fun of me Cause I wore knickers instead of jeans Just like Huck Finn I used to smoke a corncob pipe I would smoke it late at night I never got in trouble cause I turned out the light Just like Huck Finn I built myself a raft of wood I would float it whenever I could Until the day it sank right in Into the river like Huck Finn Sinking, sinking, sinking, sinking Sinking, sinking down Watch it sinking see the water Slowly seeping round Now that I'm twenty-two I'm so glad that I found you You love the river just as much as I do Just like Huck Finn I just wanna go down the river Go down the river with you forever babe I just wanna go down the river Go down the river with you I just wanna go down the river Go down the river with you forever babe I just wanna go down the river Go down the river with you When I was thirteen All my friends made fun of me Cause I wore knickers instead of jeans Just like Huck Finn And when we're sixty-three will you still be with me going down the river just you and I until the day we die I just wanna go down the river Go down the river with you forever babe I just wanna go down the river Go down the river with you I just wanna go down the river Go down the river with you forever babe I just wanna go down the river Go down the river with you I just wanna go down the river Go down the river with you forever babe I just wanna go down the river Go down the river with you When I was thirteen All my friends made fun of me Cause I wore knickers instead of jeans Just like Huck Finn
