Then he said he came from a small town,
he was known as the number one boy.
He and Marita were called in,
and their hearts were filled with joy.
Then he ran out to the city,
just to have himself a good time.
You know he played so hard in the city
That he left the marina behind
She said, one more river to cross
Then he began to read it all
And think of how things should be
So he ran into a policeman
Tasted bitter fruit from the tree
Heard he loved that chowderita
And he said that he loved to read
And that it ran the books all told me
That you take what you love to keep
Say one more river, one more river,
One more river, one more river,
One more river, one more river,
One more river, one more river,
Oh, one more river, one more river,
