River Of Sin - Kevin Coyne

River of sin, the river of sin

You be careful — don’t fall in

Yellow and dirty and the surface is dim

Black as coal right to the rim

Yes the river of sin

The river of sin

Don’t fall right into the river of sin

I’ll leave you but I’ll be back again

A long long tale to tell you but I don’t know when

Mascara’d eyes sparkling like the dew

I am one of that poxy crew, a sailor

Sailor

The river of sin

I’m falling right in

I’m sinking down in the river of sin

I’m sinking

I’m sinking

The river of sin

I’m falling in

Falling right back in the river of sin

Acorns growing up on a tree

Green pastures but they’re not for me

Quiet river and it’s all so wide

Health and perfection on the other side

It’s the river of sin (x3)

It’s it’s it’s the river of sin

So relax and enjoy it al

Before you go before you fall

Noises noises in my ears

Too many wines and too many beers
