Down Where the Dark Waters Flow lyrics

Beneath the moon tonight I kneel Close to my darling's side Her eyes in death forever closed My sweet and future bride. Beside some lonely river bank Where the weeping willow grow I'll ease my aching heart tonight Down where the dark waters flow. I planted on her new made grave A tender rose with care To bloom thru' all the lonely years While she is lying there. I'll place one tender kiss of love Upon that budding rose And bid my world of cares goodbye Down where the dark waters flow...
