Diamond Rio "Down By The Riverside" From the Album "Love A Little Stronger" Written by: Monty Powell, Marty Roe, Jule Medders. 1994 Comment: I started to get into Diamond Rio way back when they first came out, because they had a different sound. No fiddle. And just good material. Recently when I came across this site, I was blown away with all the songs on it. This site rules. Now I can jam with the Warren brothers, and many more. Thanks everybody. G E I took my baby out and bought her a ring D C Man, we planned a wedding come spring G E staring right into the eyes of my dreams D C hand in hand down on one knee G E Down by the riverside G E Down by the riverside G E told me she would be my bride D C Down by the riverside G E She said yes as I held her tight D C We made love in the broad daylight G E now I know why the old folks say D C get too close and you'll get swept away (repeat chorus) (bridge) C D G Spring came and turned my baby's head around C D G rains fell and now I feel like I might drown C G under the weight of this fools crown G E theres a tree down by the riverside D C once it held it's head up high G E we carved our vows deep in it's side D C now faithless love makes that willow cry......(chorus)
