Down By the Riverside Lyrics

Well I met my little brown-eyed gal
Down by the riverside
Down by the riverside
Down by the riverside
Well I met my little brown-eyed gal
Down by the riverside
Down by the riverside
Well I asked her for a little kiss
Down by the riverside
Down by the riverside
Down by the riverside
Well I asked her for a little kiss
Down by the riverside
Down by the riverside
I said have patience little man
But I'm sure you'll understand
I hardly know your name

You said if I can have my way
Maybe some sweet day
Your name and my will be the same
Well I wed that little brown-eyed gal
Down by the riverside
Down by the riverside
Down by the riverside
Well I wed that little brown-eyed gal
Down by the riverside
Down by the riverside

Enjoy the lyrics !!!

Bunk Johnson

Willie Gary "Bunk" Johnson (December 27, 1879* – July 7, 1949) was a prominent early New Orleans jazz trumpet player in the early years of the 20th century who enjoyed a revived career in the 1940s. *Bunk gave the year of his birth as 1879, although there is speculation that he may have actually been younger by as much as a decade. Bunk received lessons from Adam Olivier and began playing professionally in Olivier's orchestra. Bunk probably played a few adolescent jobs with Buddy Bolden, but was not a regular member of Bolden's Band for any length of time (contrary to Bunk's claim).
