Down By The River

Do you remember, you took my hand,

And we walked out across the fields,

Down the lane and over the railway line

Our hearts were racing, our feet were chasing,

We were looking for a hideaway, getting lost and losing track of time

We went down by the river, we went down by the river

Where the water ran slow, that's where we let our lovin' run free.

We went down by the river, we went down by the river

Just layin' low, my true love and me

You let your long brown hair hang down

You saw your dress was swayin' in the breeze

We were skimmin' stones out across the stream

You had a lazy style and a carefree smile

You were a breathless beauty to be hold

The sweetest sight my eyes had ever seen

We went down by the river, we went down by the river

Where the water ran slow, that's where we let our lovin' run free.

We went down by the river, we went down by the river

Just layin' low, my true love and me

The water's risin', the stream's dividing

The river keeps rollin' on

Paper boats and pleasures drift away

And you may be just a memory

But you're shining like a distant star

That seems to me as clear as yesterday

We went down by the river, we went down by the river

Where the water ran slow, that's where we let our lovin' run free.

We went down by the river, we went down by the river

Just layin' low, my true love and me
