Lyrics Faron Young

Faron Young

Down By The River

Down by the river there's a tree

Beneath its branches you promised me

Your love forever now that love's gone

Down by the river I'm all alone.

Do you remember that big tree

The one we carved on just you and me

That's only one things you left behind

Heart with your name carved next to mine.

Down by the river there's a tree

Beneath its branches you promised me

Your love forever now that love's gone

Down by the river I'm all alone.

In early autumn I have found

The tree gets lonesome, it's leaves turn brown

And with each leaf that falls a tear falls too

Down by the river where I'd miss you.

Down by the river there's a tree

Beneath its branches you promised me

Your love forever now that love's gone

Down by the river I'm all alone.

Down by the river I'm all alone...
