Down by the riverside. Down by the riverside, Oh I love a
girl. I love her so, I really, really want her to know.
She could be from Africa She could be from America She
could be from Jamaica

All I know I love a girl. Oh I love a girl. I love her
so, I really, really want her to know.

/: Don't break this heart that love you Don't break this

heart that love you And neither tear it apart I love you,
oh yes, it's true, dear I will hold you tight tonight

Have something real nice to say, Have something real nice
to say, We will hold hands in hands We will sing, I
think, happy songs. We will be, I think, side by side
Down by the riverside The beautiful riverside
