I met my little bright-eyed doll
Down by the river-side
Down by the river-side
Down by the river-side
I met my little bright-eyed doll
Down by the river-side
Down by the river-side
I worked my courage up and
I asked her for a little kiss,
Down by the river-side
Down by the river-side
Down by the river-side
I asked her for a little kiss,
Down by the river-side
Down by the river-side
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'll wed my little bright-eyed doll
Down by the river-side
Down by the river-side
Down by the river-side
I'll wed my little bright-eyed doll
Down by the river-side
Down by the river-side
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'll wed my little bright-eyed doll
Down by the river-side
Down by the river-side
Down by the river-side
I'll wed my little bright-eyed doll
Down by the river-side
Down down down down by the river-side
Down by the river-side
Down by the river-side
Down by the river-side
I met my little bright-eyed doll
Down by the river-side
Down by the river-side
I worked my courage up and
I asked her for a little kiss,
Down by the river-side
Down by the river-side
Down by the river-side
I asked her for a little kiss,
Down by the river-side
Down by the river-side
