Down by the riverside

I met my little brown-eyed gal, down by the riverside,
Down by the riverside, down by the riverside,
I met my little brown-eyed gal, down by the riverside,
Down by the riverside.

I said have patience little man,
But I'm sure you'll understand, I hardly know your name.
You said if I can have my way, maybe some sweet day,
Your name and mine will be the same.

Well I wed that little brown-eyed gal, down by the riverside,
Down by the riverside, down by the riverside,
Well I wed my little brown-eyed gal, down by the riverside,
Down by the riverside.
