A Place on the River

There's a place on the river where it forms pools and turns Where ferns shade the moss and pines shade the ferns And you can tell by the smell of the cool damp air that you don't really have any business there You can see it from your window as the train goes by Back in the shadows under the midday sky And if the wind don't blow and the river's not too high the chances are good you'll see a dragonfly Ba da dum de dum dum...etc. There's a place on the river where it forms pools and turns Where ferns shade the moss and pines shade the ferns And you can tell by the smell of the cool damp air that you don't really have any business there Ba da dum de dum dum etc
