Songtexte Down by the River - Uncle Dave Macon

I'm gonna sing you about my girl
Down by the river
Sweetest little girl in this world
Down by the riverside

Come my love and go with me
Down by the river
We'll go back to Tennessee
Down by the riverside

Oh lover, love me
Down by the river
Oh lover, love me
Down by the riverside

She dressed so neat and she looked so sweet
Down by the river
Shoes and hat and dressed complete
Down by the riverside

Talk about a pretty girl you oughta see mine
Down by the river
She ain't so good looking but she dress so fine
Down by the riverside

Oh lover, love me
Down by the river
Oh love tell me
Down by the riverside

She walked out late and she walked out sooner
Down by the river
You just ought to see her dressed in bloomers
Down by the riverside

I've been all around this whole round world
Down by the river
I hate the old man, but I love that girl
Down by the riverside

Oh lover, love me
Down by the river
Oh lover, love me
Down by the riverside

She walked so cute, she walked so stout
Down by the river
She walked so fast that she came plumb out
Down by the riverside

She sat down on a bumblebee
Down by the river
It raised a blister on her sister
Down by the riverside

Oh lover, love me
Down by the river
Oh lover, love me
Down by the riverside

Chew my tobacco, sip my juice
Down by the river
Love my?? but it ain't no use
Down by the riverside

I have a letter from the Shiloh town
Down by the river
Big St Louis was a burning down
Down by the river

Oh lover, love me
Down by the river
Oh lover, love me
Down by the riverside
