Dark brown is the river,
      Golden is the sand.
It flows along for ever,
      With trees on either hand.

Green leaves a-floating,
      Castles of the foam,
Boats of mine a-boating—
      Where will all come home?

On goes the river
      And out past the mill,
Away down the valley,
      Away down the hill.

Away down the river,
      A hundred miles or more,
Other little children
      Shall bring my boats ashore.
