Cruising Down The River Lyrics

Vaughn Monroe Cruising Down The River

STUDIO MUSICIANS
VOCAL BY VAUGHN MONROE(VM) BETTY JOHNSON (BJ)
& THE BOATSWAINS MATES (BM)
THE RECORDING STARTS WITH A MOTOR BOAT STARTING UP AND
SOMEONE CALLING 'CASTING OFF' INSTRUCTIONS.
AN ACCORDIAN INTRODUCES THE SONG AND PLAYS
THROUGHOUT THE SONG.

BW CRUSING ON THE RIVER,
ON A SUNDAY AFTERNOON.
VM WITH ONE YOU LOVE, THE SUN ABOVE
VM&BM WAITING FOR THE MOON.
VM&BM THE OLD ACCORDIAN PLAYING,
BM A SENTIMENTAL TUNE,
VM&BM CRUISING DOWN THE RIVER
ON A SUNDAY AFTERNOON.


VM THE BIRDS ABOVE ALL SING OF LOVE,
A GENTLE SWEET REFRAIN.
THE WINDS AROUND ALL MAKE A SOUND,
LIKE SOFTLY FALLING RAIN.
VM&BJ JUST TWO OF US TOGETHER,
WE'LL PLAN A HONEYMOON.
BM CRUISING DOWN THE RIVER,
ON A SUNDAY AFTERNOON.

BRIDGE

VM&BJ JUST TWO OF US TOGETHER,
WE'LL PLAN A HONEYMOON.
VM,BJ,BM, CRUISING DOWN THE RIVER,
ON A SUNDAY AFTERNOON.
