Do you remember, you took my hand,
And we walked out across the fields,
Down the lane and over the railway line
Our hearts were racing, our fe}et were chasing,
We were looking for a hideaway, getting lost and losing track of time
We went down by the river, we went down by the river
Where the water ran slow, thats where we let our lovin run free.
We went down by the river, we went down by the river
Just layin low, my true love and me
You let your long brown hair hang down
You saw your dress was swayin in the breeze
We were skimmin stones out across the stream
You had a lazy style and a carefree smile
You were a breathless beauty to behold
The sweetest sight my eyes had ever seen
We went down by the river, we went down by the river
Where the water ran slow, thats where we let our lovin run free.
We went down by the river, we went down by the river
Just layin low, my true love and me
The waters risin, the streams dividing
The river keeps rollin on
Paper boats and pleasures drift away
And you may be just a memory
But youre shining like a distant star
That seems to me as clear as yesterday
We went down by the river, we went down by the river
Where the water ran slow, thats where we let our lovin run free.
We went down by the river, we went down by the river
Just layin low, my true love and me
