Rise and shine To a morning so divine All the busies, they stop and they stare Heavy is the crown On the head of a man Who hasn't the strength to hold it firm This man's got the better of me for the second time now And I can live of the fat of the land if the riverman can And he can So would you fight like a dog in the street man?

So does he miss that vibrant life Or is he happier with fire and a pocket knife? Well he's the only one who knows Coz it's the Riverman's show This man's got the better of me for the second time now And I can live of the fat of the land if the riverman can And he can I know he's a part of me that I Need to leave and move on But I can live of the fat of the land if the riverman can And oh how he can
