Down by The Riverside 歌詞

I took my baby out and bought her a ring Man, we planned a wedding come spring Staring right into the eyes of my dreams Hand in hand, down on one knee Chorus Down by the Riverside Down by the Riverside Told me she would be my bride Down by the Riverside She said yes as I held her tight We made love in the broad daylight Now I know why the old folks say Get too close and you'll get swept away Chorus Spring came and turned by baby's head around Rains fell and now I feel like I might drown Under the weight of this fools crown There's a tree down by the Riverside Once it held it's head up high We carved our vows deep in its side Now faithless love makes that willow cry Chorus Her love turned out to be a lie
