lyrics
The river Aire is chilly and deep, Oluwale
the river Aire is chilly and deep.
Never trust the Leeds police, Oluwale,
never trust the Leeds police, Oluwale.
Down the river they did chase, Oluwale,
down the river they did chase.
To your final resting place, Oluwale,
to your final resting place, Oluwale.
He fled alone to find a home, Oluwale
he fled alone to find a home.
Whistle's blown, the truth is known, Oluwale
whistle's blown, the truth is known, Oluwale.
