Lyrics to Sandy Creek Washers
- Poetry of Ouyang Xiu

Tourists by the banks ornate boats in the water follow,

Against the banks lap spring waters that seem to overflow from the sky,

From the buildings by the green willows swings often sway over wall height.

Laugh not at the grey-haired with flowers pinned to their locks,

The cadence of music is hurrying the passing of cups of alcohol,

There's no better place than being in front of drinks in life.
