Out on the river, in a dinghy boat
Sat a little old man, in an old blue coat
He was known in town as the nice old man
With the whitest hair and the darkest tan
He talked so seldom that some have said
He didn't have a tooth in his wise old head
There never was a happier man than he
'Cause he was the happiest man you see
There will always be a place within my heart
For a memory that will ne'er depart
Of a little old man, in an old blue coat
Out on the river, in a dinghy boat
