Gently Down The Stream Songtext
von Hem

Poised out of your shoes
Cast off from the high rugged bluffs that you′ve held on to
Laid out from the spin
The cold currents from St. James Infirmary pool

Row, row, row this old boat down to the sea


Out here in the blue
The sheer cliffs there at Montague Terrace still call to you

Row, row, row this old boat down to the start of the sea
You can search this wide world over and never find me

Lights swing on the shore
Your hand has been holding the lantern this sore

Row, row, row this dear old boat as we go to the sea
You can search this wide world over and never find me
