Cruising Down the River Blue Baron (#1 in 1949), Frankie Carle (#8 in 1949),
Russ Morgan (#1 in 1949), Jack Smith (#3 in 1949)

Cruising down the river, on a Sunday afternoon.
With one you love, the sun above waiting for the moon.
The old accordion playing a sentimental tune.
Cruising down the river, on a Sunday afternoon.

    The birds above all sing of love, a gentle sweet refrain
    The winds around all make a sound like softly falling rain.

Just two of us together, we'll plan a honeymoon.
Cruising down the river, on a Sunday afternoon.
