lyrics

Throw some chain around your own feet
And go swimming
And go swimming
And go swim in that dirty river
Dirty river, that dirty river
My new friend

The hairs on my chest’ll turn to hammers
And they’ll beat me, near to death
And they’ll beat me, near to death
Throw me into, then throw me into
That dirty river

I’ll be laying, in the river bed, I’m in
I’ll be sleeping with the bream
I’ll be sleeping with the bream
But I’ll be smiling, I’ll be smiling
that bony grin

Wishing my boss would just drop dead
and leave me, leave me be
and just leave me, leave me be
I’ll get some rest, I’ll get some rest
I’ll get some rest

Keep on running dirty river
Keep on flowing
Mmm keep on growing
Keep on knowing
Where you’re going
Dirty river, you dirty river
My old friend
