lyrics

DOWN BY THE RIVERSIDE
by Tom Cole

There’s a place
Down by the riverside
Down by the river
Down by the riverside

A place I know
Down by the riverside
Down by the river
Down by the riverside

Where the snowy white down
From the cottonwood trees
is floating all around in the summer breeze
You can see it up high in the air
How I wish that I were there.

And you can sit and watch the water go by
Down by the river
Down by the riverside
And when the night falls
Down by the riverside
Sometimes the water seems a hundred miles wide

And hours fly days go by
Seasons start and end
Years ride away on the wind
And we may never meet again

But maybe I’ll see you
Down by the riverside
Down by the river
Down by the riverside

And we could talk
Down by the riverside
Down by the river
Down by the riverside

There’s a cut-off bank there
Where you can dangle your feet
While the hot burning sand and the summer heat

Make you as thirsty as the water is Sweet
I wish that we could meet
Down by the riverside

That water flows along
And nobody can pretend
That’s it’s ever to return
When it’s gone around the bend
Still I hope beyond hope my friend
One day we’ll meet again
Down by the riverside
Down by the riverside
Down by the riverside
