| (B. Rafkin) | |
| When I was young | |
| I'd go down by the river | |
| Just about a mile from my home | |
| A million miles from everyone | |
| My eyes could see older | |
| As my ears could hear your song | |
| Oh, to be wise again | |
| Get back to your lazy waters | |
| Never needed anyone but you | |
| Oh, little boys are strange | |
| No one knows they have magic | |
| I kept it in my pocket | |
| Concealed from everyone | |
| But I climbed the highest tree | |
| To sing a bird my song | |
| Oh, to be wise again | |
| Get back to your lazy waters | |
| And never needed anyone but you | |
| Instrumental (Harmonica) | |
| We moved to the city | |
| I said I wouldn't minds | |
| Thought you'd stay inside me | |
| It's easy when you're young | |
| But as we rode away | |
| I knew you were gone | |
| Oh, to be wise again | |
| Get back to your lazy waters | |
| Never needed anyone but you | |
| Oh, to be wise again | |
| Get back to your lazy waters | |
| Never needed anyone but you | |
| Oh, to be wise again | |
| Get back to your lazy waters | |
| Never needed anyone but you | |
