Down By the Riverside

I met my little brown-eyed doll

Down by the riverside, down by the riverside
Down by the riverside
I met my little brown-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"

She smiled at me and I could see

I met my little brown-eyed doll

Down by the riverside, down by the riverside
Down by the riverside
I met my little brown-eyed doll
Down by the riverside, down by the riverside

I met my little brown-eyed doll

Down by the riverside, down by the riverside
Down by the riverside
I met my little brown-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 brown-eyed doll

Down by the riverside, down by the riverside
Down by the riverside
I met my little brown-eyed doll
Down by the riverside, down by the riverside
