I walked down to the Quay at midnight, to watch the waters flowin'
Saw a shadow playin' there, his audience was growin'
He sang to all the young girls there, about a deeper yearning
And all the eyes and all the ears, could feel his passion burning
And the people would come from miles around,
Just to listen to his sweet sound
It was every time just about midnight
Down by the waters flowin'
Na na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na na
Down by the waters flowin'
Then one night as I was walking, I felt a sense of fear
The deep dark water seemed to say
There's nothing for you here
Then I thought that I saw something, that chilled me to the bone,
But harbour lights play tricks on eyes, I turned and headed home
And the people would come from miles around,
Just to listen to his sweet sound
It was every time just about midnight
Down by the waters flowin'
No one ever saw the man or heard him play again
So sad to hear that he had gone
Then one day upon the sand they found his old guitar
But would it ever play that sweet song again
And the people would come from miles around,
Just to listen to his sweet sound
It was every time just about midnight
Down by the waters flowin'
And the people would come from miles around,
Just to listen to his sweet sound
But the only song that guitar would play
Was down by the waters flowin'
Down by the waters flowin'
Na na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na na
Down by the waters flowin'
Na na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na na
Down by the waters flowin'
Down by the waters flowin'
