Verse 1
Moon river, wider than a mile I'm crossing you in style someday Old dream maker Old heartbreaker Where ever you're going I'm going your way Verse 2 Two drifters off to see the world There's such a lot of world to see We're after the same rainbow's end Waiting round the bend My huckleberry friend Moon river and me These verses are repeated in most performances, sometimes with the first done instrumentally and the second sung. |
