Cruising Down The River Lyrics
CRUISING DOWN THE RIVER (On a Sunday Afternoon)<br />
Blue Baron/Russ Morgan<br />
- words and music by Eily Beadell and Nell Tollerton, two middle-aged women<br />
who wrote the song to win a British songwriting contest in 1945<br />
- sung by the crew of H.M.S. Amethyst as it made its historic dash down the<br />
Yangtze River in 1949<br />
<br />
Cruising down the river on a Sunday afternoon<br />
With one you love, the sun above waiting for the moon<br />
The old accordian playing a sentimental tune<br />
Cruising down the river on a Sunday afternoon<br />
The birds above all sing of love, a gentle sweet refrain<br />

The winds around all make a sound like softly falling rain<br />
Just two of us together, we'll plan a honeymoon<br />
Cruising down the river on a Sunday afternoon
