Verse 1

It's Ajust gone noon,

Half Gmpast monsoon,

On the Abanks of,

The river GmNile.

Here Acomes the boat,

Only Gmhalf-afloat,

Oarsman Agrins a,

Toothless Gmsmile.

Only Ajust one more,

To this Gmdesolate shore,

Last Aboat along,

The river GmNile.

Doesn't Aseem to care,

No more Gmwind in his hair,

As he Areaches his,

Last half Gmmile.

The oar Dmsnaps in his hand,

Before he Fmreaches dry land,

But the Dmsound doesn't,

Deafen his A♯7smile.

Just Dmpokes at wet sand,

With an Fmoar in his hand,

Floats Dmoff down the River CNile,

Floats off down the BRiver A7Nile. A♯ B C
