John Edmond - Down the River

When I was a boy
My life was a joy
As I grew up in a land of pioneers
In the bright sunshine
I would cast my line
Watch it float down the river

Down the river
Down the river
Down the mighty Zambezi
Down the river
Down the river
And her great white water's swallowed by the sea

When I was a man
My young life span
Fell within the boundaries of war
We were soldiers bold
And we patrolled
And we fought the foe down the river

Down the river
Down the river
Down the mighty Zambezi
Down the river
Down the river
And her great white water's swallowed by the sea

The war raged on
And was finally won
By whom and for what we'll never know
And some gave life
The supreme sacrifice
And the rest were sold down the river

Down the river
Down the river
Down the mighty Zambezi
Down the river
Down the river
And her great white water's swallowed by the sea

Down the river
Down the river
Down the mighty Zambezi
Down the river
Down the river
And her great white water's swallowed by the sea

Down the river
Down the river
Down the mighty Zambezi
Down the river
Down the river
And her great white water's swallowed by the sea

Down the river
Down the river
Down the mighty Zambezi
