Old Oak Tree
They came from all around
To see their friends and lay some music down
Down by the river – by the old oak tree
Down by the river where the livin’s free

I knew a fella – all he had
Was a penny in his pocket and a song in his head
Never had a worry – never had a care
He went down to the river and he’s still livin’ there

I got a nickel – you got a dime
We got a rhythm & we got a rhyme
We live together in harmony
Down by the river where the music’s free

And I woke to the sound of a quivering river
Couldn’t get across and I began to shiver
Tryin’ to get back to where I’m free
Go down to the river by the old oak tree
