Words and music by Andru Bemis

 D                   Bm
When I was thirteen
 A                                           G
All my friends made fun of me
               D                                     Bm
Cause I wore knickers instead of jeans
 G       A                   D
Just like Huck Finn

I used to smoke a corncob pipe
I would smoke it late at night
I never got in trouble cause I turned out the light
Just like Huck Finn

I built myself a raft of wood
I would float it whenever I could
Until the day it sank right in
Into the river like Huck Finn

 D                                  C
Sinking, sinking, sinking, sinking
 Bb                               A
Sinking, sinking down
 D                                   C
Watch it sinking, see the water
 Bb                             A
Slowly seeping round

Now that I’m twenty-two
I’m so glad that I found you
You love the river as much as I do
Just like Huck Finn

 D                               Bm
I just wanna go down the river
        G                                            A
Go down the river with you forever, babe
 D                               Bm
I just wanna go down the river
        G                                           A
Go down the river with you

And when we’re sixty-three
Will you still be with me
Going down the river, just you and I
Until the day we die?
