Down by the Riverside

Burning Spear

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
