down on deep river

old man moon across the swampy river rise

cast a quiet reflection in your eyes

meet me beside the still waters

and let me love you down on the river

hear the crickets singing for a mile

and the sound of the bullfrog when he smiles

meet me beside the still waters

and let me love you down on the river

it's like heaven when i love you

i'm so far away

and you know all my favorite songs to sing

know the words to say

so come

follow me down the quiet side

taste the old river deep and wide

and lead me beside the still waters

and let me love you down on the river

and the night bird calling

and i'm falling more in love each day

want you sit by my side

and hold to my hand and love me all the way

and we'll leave all the highways far behind

and just take a little blanket with the wine

and lead me beside the still waters

and let me love you down on the river

and lead me beside the still waters

and let me love you down on the river
