Down by the river there's a tree
Beneath it's branches you promised me
Your love forever now that loves gone
Down by the river I'm all alone
Do you remember that big tree
The one we carved on just you and me
That's only one thing you left behind
A heart with your name carved next to mine
Down by the river there's a tree
Beneath it's branches you promised me
Your love forever now that loves gone
Down by the river I'm all alone
In early autumn I have found
The tree gets lonesome it's leaves turn brown
And with each leaf that falls a tear falls too
Down by the river where I miss you
Down by the river there's a tree
Beneath it's branches you promised me
Your love forever now that loves gone
Down by the river I'm all alone
