River Of Sin (BBC In Concert, Golders Green Hippodrome 1974)

River of sin, the river of sin
You be careful — don’t fall in
Yellow and dirty and the surface is dim
Black as coal right to the rim
Yes the river of sin
The river of sin
Don’t fall right into the river of sin
I’ll leave you but I’ll be back again
A long long tale to tell you but I don’t know when
Mascara’d eyes sparkling like the dew
I am one of that poxy crew, a sailor
Sailor
The river of sin
I’m falling right in
I’m sinking down in the river of sin
I’m sinking
I’m sinking
The river of sin
I’m falling in
Falling right back in the river of sin
Acorns growing up on a tree
Green pastures but they’re not for me
Quiet river and it’s all so wide
Health and perfection on the other side
It’s the river of sin (x3)
It’s it’s it’s the river of sin
So relax and enjoy it al
Before you go before you fall
Noises noises in my ears
Too many wines and too many beers
