DOWN BY THE RIVER 
(Rickie Page / George Motola / Lee Silver)

recorded by

1960


Down by the river,
The cool river,
In the shade of the willow tree,
That's where the one I love waits for me.

That's where we met,
I never will forget
How he kissed me tenderly,
Down by the river in the shade of the willow tree.

Away from town,
No-one around,
A place to be alone!
Can hardly wait,
I won't be late
To see the one I call my own!

Down by the river,
The cool river,
In the shade of the willow tree,
That's where the one I love waits for me.

Away from town,
Be-doo-be-doo-be doo!
A place to be alone!
Can hardly wait,
Be-doo-be-doo-be doo!
To see the one I call my own!

Down by the river,
The cool river,
In the shade of the willow tree,
That's where the one I love waits for me.
