Down By The River   
recorded by Faron Young
written by Jan Crutchfield and Teddy Wilburn 

C                   F         C
Down by the river   there's a tree
                                    G7
Beneath it's branches  you promised me
                                 C
Your love forever now that loves gone
F           C      G7      C
Down by the river  I'm all alone
 
                  F        C
Do you remember   that big tree
                                   G7
The one we carved on  just you and me
                                C
That's only one thing  you left behind
  F          C          G7             C
A heart with your name  carved next to mine
  
                    F         C
Down by the river   there's a tree
                                    G7
Beneath it's branches  you promised me
                                 C
Your love forever now that loves gone
F           C      G7      C
Down by the river  I'm all alone
 
                 F      C
In early autumn  I have found
                                        G7
The tree gets lonesome it's leaves turn brown
                                           C
And with each leaf that falls a tear falls too
F           C      G7           C
Down by the river  where I miss you
  
                    F         C
Down by the river   there's a tree
                                    G7
Beneath it's branches  you promised me
                                 C
Your love forever now that loves gone
F           C      G7      C
Down by the river  I'm all alone
