Why do willows weep, said he, because theyre dying gradually From the waste from the factories down by the river. 1972 ALBERT HAMMOND City life was getting us down so we spent a weekend out o town Pitched our tent on a patch of ground down by the river Lit a fire and drank some wine you put your jeans on top of mine I said: Come in, the waters fine down by the river Down by the river, down by the river Said: come in the waters fine down by the river Didnt feel too good all night, so we took a walk in the morning light And came across the strangest sight down by the river Silver fish lay on its side, it was washed up by the early tide I wonder how it died down by the river Down by the river, down by the river A silver fish lay on its side down by the river The doctor put us both to bed, he dosed us up and he shook his head Only foolish people go, he said, down by the river The mighty willows weep, said he, because theyre dying gradually From the waste from the factories down by the river Down by the river, down by the river Mighty willows weep, said he, down by the river In time the riverbanks will die, the reeds will wilt and the ducks wont fly Therell be a tear in the otters eye down by the river The banks will soon be black and dead and where the otter raised his head Will be a clean, white skull instead down by the river Down by the river, down by the river The banks will soon be black and dead down by the river Down by the river, down by the river The banks will soon be black and dead down by the river
