Old Man Moon across the swampy river rise
Cast a quiet reflection in your eyes
Meet me beside the still waters and Let me love you down on the river
Hear the crickets singing for a mile
And the sound of the bullfrog when he smiles
Meet me beside the still waters and Let me love you down on the river
It's like heaven when I love you I'm so far a - way
And you know all my favorite songs to sing
Know the words to say
So come follow me down the quiet side
Taste the old river deep and wide
And lead me beside the still waters and Let me love you down on the river
And the night bird calling and I'm falling more in love each day
Want you sit by my side and hold to my hand and love me all the way
And we'll leave all the highways far behind
And just take a little blanket with the wine
And lead me beside the still waters and Let me love you down on the river
And lead me beside the still waters and Let me love you down on the river
Play D5 as a bar chord on the fifth fret with the D & G strings played on the 7th frets.
