Don't break this heart
Don't break this heart

Down by the riverside
Down by the riverside 
Oh I love a girl
All I know I love a girl

I love her so,   
I really, really ......

She could be from Africa 
She could be from America 
She could be from Jamaica 

All I know I love a girl.
Oh I love a girl
I love her so, 
I really, I really care

Don't break this heart that love you
Don't break this heart that love you
And neither tear it apart
I love you, oh yes, it's true
I will hold you tight tonight

Have something real nice to say,
Have something real nice to say,
We will hold hands in hands
We will sing, I tell you, happy  songs.  
We will be, I tel you, side by side

Down the beautiful riverside  :/
