Down by the River
(traditional)

CHORUS
Love, love me,
down by the river;
Love, love me,
down by the riverside.
Love, love me,
down by the river;
Love, love me,
down by the river side.



I got a letter from Shiloh Town
(Down by the river)
Sayin' Lewistown is a-burnin' down
(Down by the riverside)
CHORUS

Got a little lady, live in the pine,
(Down by the river)
Ain't good-lookin' but she takes her time,
(Down by the Riverside)
CHORUS

Hush, little baby, don't you cry,
(Down by the river)
You'll be an angel by and by,
(Down by the Riverside)
CHORUS

Chaw my tobacco, spittin' the juice
(Down by the river)
Love my sister, but it ain't no use
(Down by the Riverside)
CHORUS
