The Nile, etc (6)

I believe the answer is:

rivers

(Other definitions for rivers that I've seen before include "Comedienne Joan" , "Large natural streams of water" , "''Only Our ... Run Free'' (McConnell ballad)" , "''Only Our ... Run Free'' (MacConnell ballad)" , "Thames and Hudson?" .)

I've seen this clue in the USA Today.
