On a Saturday in the month of May
My friends and I looked for reasons why
Down the Misty River (Down the Misty River)
We came from all around so we could hear the sound
Of the osprey cry and the swallows fly
Down the Misty River (Down the Misty River)


So we put in our boat and we began to float
Not knowing where but we didn't care
The water's rough and our hands are tough
But we're still afloat together in the same boat.


We paddled along humming the same song
Sometimes during our trip we lost our grip and slipped
Down the Misty River (Down the Misty River)
I paused briefly to see an osprey up in a tree
Then I heard its call through the sound of us all
Down the Misty River (Down the Misty River)
So we put in our boat and we began to float
Not knowing where but we didn't care
The water's rough and our hands are tough
But we're still afloat together in the same boat.


Instrumental Verse

So we put in our boat and we began to float
Not knowing where but we didn't care
The water's rough and our hands are tough
But we're still afloat together in the same boat.


La La La La La La La La La La
La La La La La La La La La La La
Down the Misty River (Down the Misty River)

As the sky turned red and the sun went to bed
My friends and I found the reasons why
Down the Misty River (Down the Misty River)
Ooooh Down the Misty River (Down the Misty River)
Ooooh Down the Misty River (Down the Misty River)
