Slowly down, down the river The one you sold me down Where my timber shivered You hold them down As they flailing Yes as they drown You say “ah look they’re waving”
Ah, Brittania somehow she was saved Brittania raped by all the slaves Raping all the slaves
Sorry Dad for every good time that I had They made me look so bad Sorry mum I’m sorry for the good things that I’ve done Gave you hope when there was none
No how can ya Teach that we were saved Oh Do svidaniya tell me I can live Ammonia and sieve My baby coming with me
For the outing In the prison of my mind No three score ten wreck I won’t be blind I won’t be blindly led A lion by a donkey
Oh how can ya Teach that we were saved Do svidaniya tell me I can live Ammonia and sieve My baby coming with me now
Down for the outing In the prison of your mind No pretty ribbons a wild beast will bind No pretty rhythms may ease a troubled mind Ease a troubled mind Many troubled minds round here
