Down by the Riverside Songtext
von Roy Black

Down by the riverside
Down by the riverside
Down by the riverside

Meet my loving mammy now

Down by the riverside
Down by the riverside

Ooh I see my loving daddy too

Down by the riverside
Down by the riverside
Down by the riverside
Meet my loving daddy too
Down by the riverside
Down by the riverside

Well I ain′t starting war no more
I ain't starting war no more
I ain′t starting oh war no more
Well I ain't starting war no more
I ain't starting war no more
I ain′t starting oh war no more


I meet my loving daddy now

Down by the riverside
Down by the riverside
Down by the riverside
Meet my loving daddy now
Down by the riverside
Down by the riverside

I see my laden burden now

Down by the riverside
Down by the riverside
Down by the riverside

Lay down my old sword and shield

Down by the riverside
Down by the riverside

Well I ain′t starting war no more
I ain't starting war no more
I ain′t starting oh war no, oh war no more
Well I ain't starting war no more
I ain′t starting war no more
I ain't starting oh war no more


I meet my loving daddy now

Down by the riverside
Down by the riverside
Down by the riverside
Meet my loving daddy now
Down by the riverside
Down by the riverside

Oh down by the riverside
Hey down by the riverside
I do not know what to do
