Lyrics

Moon

Riv er, wid er than a mile, I’m cross in’ you in style some day.

Old dream

mak er, you heart

break er, wher ev er you’re go in’ I’m go in’ your way.

Two

drift ers, off to see the world.

There’s such a lot of world to see.

We’re af

ter the same

rain bow’s end

wait in’ ’round the bend,

my huck le ber ry friend,

Moon

Riv er

and me.
