Lyrics

Tis down by the riverside
A fair maid I espied,
She was lamenting for her own true love,
She was lamenting, sighing crying for her own true love.
"What makes you sigh and cry,
My fair pretty maid," said I,
I'm lamenting for my own true love"...
Now she has got wed,
And all her sorrow fled,
She's a-living with her own true love,
She is laughing, dancing, singing with her own true love.
