Down By The River Lyrics

Faron Young Down By The River

(Jan Crutchfield - Teddy Wilburn)

Down by the river there's a tree
Beneath its branches you promised me
Your love forever now that love's gone
Down by the river I'm all alone.

Do you remember that big tree
The one we carved on just you and me
That's only one things you left behind
Heart with your name carved next to mine.

Down by the river there's a tree
Beneath its branches you promised me
Your love forever now that love's gone
Down by the river I'm all alone.

In early autumn I have found
The tree gets lonesome, it's leaves turn brown
And with each leaf that falls a tear falls too
Down by the river where I'd miss you.

Down by the river there's a tree
Beneath its branches you promised me
Your love forever now that love's gone
Down by the river I'm all alone.

Down by the river I'm all alone...
