Now's not the time for wailin' While there's water in the river We'll all lay down and cry when it's gone I'll be a jackass and laugh at every sunrise Celebrate the day when it's born
And we'll cruise one more time down the river While our hearts overflow-ow with joy And we'll reminisce our days down Salisbury Street Salisbury Street, Salisbury Street Yeah we'll cruise one more time down the Murray Don't wave the river gums goodbye Just thank 'em for the shade and the storie-ie-ies Tomorrow there'll be ti-ime to cry
So untie the ropes my darlin's There's broken cloud today And that lucky 'ole' will paint those billows blush Don't wanna miss the sundown shinin' on the water Chasin' sneaky shadows through the bush
And we'll cruise one more time down the river While our hearts overflow-ow with joy And we'll reminisce our days down Salisbury Street Salisbury Street, Salisbury Street Yeah we'll cruise one more time down the Murray Don't wave the river gu-ums goodbye Just thank 'em for the shade and the storie-ie-ies Tomorrow there'll be ti-ime to cry
