Cruising down the river, on a Sunday afternoon,

With one you love, the sun above, waiting for the moon,

The old accordion playing, a sentimental tune,

Cruising down the river, on a Sunday afternoon.



The birds above all sing of love, a gentle, sweet refrain,

While reeds around all make a sound like softly falling rain.



Just two of us together, plan a honeymoon,

Crusing down the river, Ona Sunday afternoon
