Down by the Riverside Songtext
von The Four Lads

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 worked my courage up and 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 can have my way
Maybe some sweet day
My name and yours will be the same"

She smiled at me and I could see
I′d wed my little bright-eyed doll

Down by the riverside
Down by the riverside
Down by the riverside
I'd wed my little bright-eyed doll
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 can have my way
Maybe some sweet day
My name and yours will be the same"

She smiled at me and I could see
I′d wed my little bright-eyed doll


Down by the riverside
Down by the riverside
Down by the riverside
I'd wed my little bright-eyed doll
Down by the riverside
Down by the riverside
