Down River by The Wilcannia Mob Lyrics
[Hook]
When it’s really hot we go the river and swim
When we go fishin’ we catchin’ a bream
When the river’s high we jump off the bridge
When we get home we play some didge
[Verse 1]
Call me Wally this is where I’m at
I wear my NRL baseball cap
Paramatta’s my team if you know what I mean
To be the captain – that’s my dream
[Verse 2]
My name is Keith from Wilcannia streets
I walk on stilts to beat the beat
When I get home I shake a leg
This is my rhyme, that’s what I said
[Hook]
When it’s really hot we go the river and swim
When we go fishin’ we catchin’ a bream
When the river’s high we jump off the bridge
When we get home we play some didge
[Verse 3]
Well Colroy’s here and I have no fear
All you wild pigs better watch out for my spear
I’m with the gang and I’m almost ten
I want to be an actor like Jackie Chan
[Verse 4]
Lendal is my name and I like to do back flips
Listen to the words that come from my lips
Jump off the bridge and I play the didge
When I catch a fish I put it in the fridge
[Verse 5]
My name is Buddy, I can’t stand still
Wilcannia to Dubbo to Broken Hill
Been moving round from town to town
And this is how I get down
[Hook]
When it’s really hot we go the river and swim
When we go fishin’ we catchin’ a bream
When the river’s high we jump off the bridge
When we get home we play some didge
When it’s really hot we go the river and swim
When we go fishin’ we catchin’ a bream
When the river’s high we jump off the bridge
When we get home we play some didge
When it’s really hot we go the river and swim
When we go fishin’ we catchin’ a bream
When the river’s high we jump off the bridge
When we get home we play some didge
[Verse 1]
Call me Wally this is where I’m at
I wear my NRL baseball cap
Paramatta’s my team if you know what I mean
To be the captain – that’s my dream
[Verse 2]
My name is Keith from Wilcannia streets
I walk on stilts to beat the beat
When I get home I shake a leg
This is my rhyme, that’s what I said
[Hook]
When it’s really hot we go the river and swim
When we go fishin’ we catchin’ a bream
When the river’s high we jump off the bridge
When we get home we play some didge
[Verse 3]

All you wild pigs better watch out for my spear

When it’s really hot we go the river and swim
When we go fishin’ we catchin’ a bream
When the river’s high we jump off the bridge
When we get home we play some didge
