Down by the River

Down by the river where the green grass grows
Where little Mary bleaches her clothes
She sang, she sang, she sang so sweet
That she sang Patrick across the street
Down by the river where the green grass grows
Where little Mary bleaches her clothes
She sang, she sang, she sang so sweet
That she sang Patrick across the street
Mary made a dumpling, she made it so sweet
She cut up in slices and gave us all a piece
Said «Take this», «Take this», «And don’t say no!»
«For tomorrow is my wedding day and I must go.»
