Down By The River - Jon Allen

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 feet were chasing

We were looking for a hide away

Getting lost and losing track of time

We went down by the river

We went down by the river

Where the water ran slow

Was where we let our loving run free

We went down by the river

We went down by the river

Just laying low

My true love and me

You let your long brown hair hang down

Your summer dress was swaying in the breeze

When we were skimming stones 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

Was where we let our loving run free

We went down by the river

We went down by the river

Just laying low

My true love and me

Well waters rise and streams divide

And that river keeps rolling on

Paper boats and pleasure drift away

And you may be just a memory

But you’re shinning like a distant star

It seems to me as clear as yesterday

We went down by the river

We went down by the river

Where the water ran slow

Was where we let our loving run free

We went down by the river

We went down by the river

Just laying low

My true love and me
