| I walked down to the Quay at midnight to watch the waters flowin'
|
| Saw a shadow playin' there, his audience was growin'
|
| He sang to all the young girls there about a deeper yearning
|
| And all the eyes and all the ears could feel his passion burning
|
| And the people would come from miles around
|
| Just to listen to his sweet sound
|
| It was every time just about midnight
|
| Down by the waters flowin'
|
| Na na na na na na na na na
|
| Na na na na na na na
|
| Na na na na na na na na na
|
| Down by the waters flowin'
|
| Then one night as I was walking I felt a sense of fear
|
| The deep dark water seemed to say «There's nothing for you here»
|
| Then I thought that I saw something that chilled me to the bone
|
| But harbour lights play tricks on eyes, I turned and headed home
|
| And the people would come from miles around
|
| Just to listen to his sweet sound
|
| It was every time just about midnight
|
| Down by the waters flowin'
|
| Na na na na na na na na na
|
| Na na na na na na na
|
| Na na na na na na na na na
|
| Down by the waters flowin'
|
| No one ever saw the man or heard him play again
|
| So sad to hear that he had gone
|
| Then one day upon the sand they found his old guitar
|
| But would it ever play that sweet song again?
|
| And the people would come from miles around
|
| Just to listen to his sweet sound
|
| It was every time just about midnight
|
| Down by the waters flowin'
|
| And the people would come from miles around
|
| Just to listen to his sweet sound
|
| But the only song that guitar would play
|
| Was down by the waters flowin'
|
| Down by the waters flowin'
|
| Na na na na na na na na na
|
| Na na na na na na na
|
| Na na na na na na na na na
|
| Down by the waters flowin'
|
| Na na na na na na na na na
|
| Na na na na na na na
|
| Na na na na na na na na na
|
| Down by the waters flowin'
|
| Down by the waters flowin' |
