Down By the Riverside

I met my little bright-eyed boy
Down by the riverside
Down by the riverside
Down by the riverside
I met my little bright-eyed boy
Down by the riverside
Down by the riverside

He asked me for a little kiss
Down by the riverside
Down by the riverside
Down by the riverside

He asked me for a little kiss
Down by the riverside

Oh, down by the riverside
I said, "Have patience, little man
I'm sure you'll understand
Why I hardly know your name."
I said, "If I can have my way
Why then maybe some sweet day
Your name and mine will be the same."

Oh, I met my little bright-eyed boy
Down by the riverside
Down by the riverside
Down by the riverside
I met my little bright-eyed boy
Down by the riverside
Oh, down by the riverside

(Oh, honey, how about a little kiss?)
Come along to the riverside
Down to the riverside
I said, "Have patience, little man
I'm sure you'll understand
Why I hardly know your name."

(Come on, Dorsey!)
"Well, if I can have my way
Then maybe some sweet day
Your name and mine will be the same."
Glory Hallelujah!

Met my little bright-eyed boy
Down by the riverside
Down by the riverside
Down by the riverside
I met my little bright-eyed boy
Down by the riverside
Down, down, down, down, down
By the riverside
