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 by the riverside
down the beautiful riverside
