North of the River

When the moon shines on the water And glints in a crocodile's eye Meet the boys at the waterhole Drinking Bundy and Tennessee Rye A shout goes out "Let's fire 'em up Pack your gun and woman inside We're heading out on a pig hunt Sit back and enjoy the ride" There's a wild kind of redneck in the forest here Oooooh ...... North of the River You better take care From the south came a city slicker Smart suit and looking just fine To build a bridge over the water "People let's move with the times So they took him out Got covered in mud Along the CREB Track in the rain He stayed overnight in the village But he was never went south again There's a strange kind of magic in the forest here Oooooh ...... North of the River You better beware So if you travel over the water Make the crossing at first light Do all the things that you need to do Catch the ferry home at night You better move fast There's nothing to see When the Sun slips out of sight Wild things walk in the mangroves When the mozzies begin to bite There is a strange kind of voodoo in the forest here Oooooh..... North of the River You better say your prayers North of the River You better take care North of the River You better beware North of the River You better say your prayers North of the River I ain't taking you there
