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
