Down By The River
[CHILD]
Down by the river where the green grass grows
Where little Mary bleaches her clothes
She sang, she sang, she sang so sweet
That she sang Patrick across the street

[CHILD]
Mary made a dumpling, she made it so sweet
She cut up in slices and gave us all a piece
Said "Take this", "Take this", "And don't say no!"
"For tomorrow is my wedding day and I must go."
