DOWN BY THE RIVER

Down by the river
Where the green grass grows,
Where Annie Cassidy
Washes all her clothes,
She sang, and she sang,
And she sang so sweet,
And she called to her sweetheart
Down the street.

Sweetheart, sweetheart, Will you marry me?'
`Yes love, yes love, At half-past three.'
`Half-past three is far too late,
So we'll get married At half-past eight.'
