"Down By The Riverside" lyrics

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 the place where she 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
