Down By The Riverside Lyrics - Love A Little Stronger - Diamond Rio

I took my baby out and bought her a ring 

Man, we planned a wedding come spring 

Staring right into the eyes of my dreams 

Hand in hand, down on one knee 

Down by the riverside 

Down by the riverside 

Told me she would be my bride 

Down by the riverside 

She said, "Yes" as I held her tight 

We made love in the broad daylight 

Now I know why the old folks say 

'Get too close and you'll get swept away' 

Down by the riverside 

Down by the riverside 

Don't take much with the water's too high 

Down by the riverside 

Spring came and turned by baby's head around 

Rains fell and now I feel like I might drown 

Under the weight of this fools crown 

There's a tree down by the riverside 

Once it held it's head up high 

We carved our vows deep in it's side 

Now faithless love makes that willow cry 

Down by the riverside 

Down by the riverside 

Her love turned out to be a lie 

Down by the riverside 

Down by the riverside 

Her love turned out to be a lie 

Down by the riverside
