Lyrics John Williamson

John Williamson

Salisbury Street

Now's not the time for wailin'

While there's water in the river

We'll all lay down and cry when it's gone

I'll be a jackass and laugh at every sunrise

Celebrate the day when it's born

[Chorus]

And we'll cruise one more time down the river

While our hearts overflow-ow with joy

And we'll reminisce our days down Salisbury Street

Salisbury Street, Salisbury Street

Yeah we'll cruise one more time down the Murray

Don't wave the river gums goodbye

Just thank 'em for the shade and the stories

Tomorrow there'll be time to cry

So untie the ropes my darlin's

There's broken cloud today

And that lucky 'ole will paint those billows blush

Don't want to miss the sundown shinin' on the water

Chasin' sneaky shadows through the bush

[Chorus]

[Repeat: x2]

Tomorrow there'll be time to cry
