Cruising Down The River

Cruising down the river
On a Sunday afternoon
With one you love,
The sun above
Waiting for the moon.

The old accordian playing
A sentimental tune
Cruising down the river
On a Sunday afternoon.

The birds above
All sing of love,
A gentle sweet refrain
The winds around
All make a sound
Like softly falling rain.

Just two of us together,
We'll plan a honeymoon
Cruising down the river
On a Sunday afternoon.

Song written by Eily Beadell and Nell Tollerton, two middle-aged women who wrote the song to win a British songwriting contest in 1945- sung by the crew of H.M.S. Amethyst as it made its historic dash down the Yangtze River in 1949.
