Down by the Riverside

Down by the riverside

That's where I barely changed

The wind it blew so cold and cruel

On a cross

I wrote her name

I'm going down

I'm going down

Down to the riverside

To the place where she lies

Down by the riverside

The night that I first met Jane

She wore a blood red coat

We danced beneath the crescent moon

A ribbon around her throat

I'm going down

I'm going down

Down to the riverside

To thе place where shе lies

Down by the riverside

We were married in the spring

She swore her love for me

I kissed her lips, she whispered son

I wear this ribbon for thee

I'm going down

I'm going down

Down to the riverside

To the place where she lies

Down by the riverside

Two shadows on the window shade

It was Jane with another man

I drew his blood and watched him die

As the ribbon, it tightened in my hand

I'm going down

I'm going down

Down to the riverside

I'm going down

I'm going down

To the place where she lies

Down by the riverside
