Down by the Riverside lyrics

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 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..."

She smiled at me and I could see.

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 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 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 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.
