Down On Deep River

Old man moon across the swampy river rise
Casts his quiet reflection in your eyes
So lead me beside the still waters
Let me love you down on deep river
Hear the crickets singing for a mile
And the sound of the bullfrogs makes you smile
So lead me beside the still waters
Let me love you down on deep river
It’s like heaven when I’m loving you
Times so far away
And you know all my favorite songs to sing
You know the words to say
So come, follow me down the quiet side
And taste this old river deep and wide
And lead me beside the still waters
And let me love you down on deep river
And the night bird’s calling
And I’m falling more in love each day
Want you sit by my side
And hold to my hand and love me all the way
And we’ll leave all the highways far behind
And just take a little blanket with the wine
And lead me beside the still waters
Let me love you down on deep river
Lead me beside the still waters
Let me love you down on deep river
