Down by the river (Down by the mill)  (J. van Laar) English lyrics: D. van Altena

Terug

Theres a lovely little place Where calm ol waters run Where the millers daughters face Taught the morning sun With a smile so warm and true How to light the day A smile that settled in my mind And makes me wanna stay      Down by the river      The patient river      Down by the mill where my darling waits for me      Down by the river      The ancient river      Down by the mill where forever I will be When the sun is sinking low Evening is still and sweet And though we are so far apart My heart and hers will meet Thats the time I wish I could Dream here eternally So both my aching heart and I Neednt long to be      Down by the river Little girlsll be dancing in Dresses of lace one day The mill will go round cheerfully Ribbons to every stay Ill take the millers daughters hand And get down on my knee Place a ring a-whispering If she will marry me      Down by the river
