Down by the Riverside
I met my little bright-eyed doll
Down by the riverside
Down by the riverside
Down by the riverside
I met my little bright-eyed doll
Down by the riverside
Down by the riverside
I asked her for a little kiss
Down by the riverside
Down by the riverside
Down by the riverside
I asked her for a little kiss
Down by the riverside
Down by the riverside
She said, "Have patience, little man
I'm sure you'll understand
I hardly know your name"
I said, "if I could have my way
Maybe some sweet day
My name and yours will be..."
She smiled at me and I could see
I met my little bright-eyed doll
Down by the riverside
Down by the riverside
Down by the riverside
I met my little bright-eyed doll
Down by the riverside
Down by the riverside
I met my little bright-eyed doll
Down by the riverside
Down by the riverside
Down by the riverside
I met my little bright-eyed doll
Down by the riverside
Down by the riverside
I asked her for a little kiss
Down by the riverside
Down by the riverside
Down by the riverside
I asked her for a little kiss
Down by the riverside
Down by the riverside
She said, "have patience, little man
I'm sure you'll understand
I hardly know your name"
I said, "if I could have my way
Maybe some sweet day
My name and yours will be the same"
I met my little bright-eyed doll
Down by the riverside
Down by the riverside
Down by the riverside
I met my little bright-eyed doll
Down by the riverside
Down by the riverside
