lyrics

Down by the river
down by the sea
there I met my true love
and there she loved me
and our love would last forever
until the grave's embrace
down by the river
down by the sea

then one day my true love
my true love came to me
and told me she must leave
for a soldier she must be
'twas a family tradition
down the centuries
we made love that evening
beneath the old oak tree

Down by the river
down by the sea
I wait by the river
beneath the old oak tree
for my love to come back
from the conflict overseas
down by the river
down by the sea

Then one day her father calls
and tells me through his tears
that my true love won't be home
that she has ceased to be
that she has died defending
a mountain made of lies
and no one can ever tell us
why she had to die

Down by the river
down by the sea
there I met my true love
and there she loved me
and our love would last forever
until the grave's embrace
down by the river
down by the sea
