 Lost  my watch, watch and chain,
 But  time's not lost
 This time we walk together
 Beside the slow black river
 Water-walking  over mud
 You whisper  something
 Something good in my  ear,
 so I stop so I can hear:
 "Darling,  I'm the one to blame
 I threw  your watch and chain
 To where I don't  know
 Inside the tall grass meadow
 You'll  forget, forget in time
 Remember  this:
 Your hand in mine forever
 Beside the slow black river"
 <solo-- same="" strum="" pattern="">
 Lost  my watch, watch and chain
 To  her today
 But  time it has no meaning
 When  her and me are walking
 Darling,  I'm the one to blame
 I  love you still
 And  timeless now forever
 Together  by the river
  <solo-- same="" strum="" pattern="">
  </solo-->
