"Down On Deep River" lyrics - LEON RUSSELL

Old Man Moon across the swampy river rise
Cast a quiet reflection in your eyes
Meet me beside the still waters
And let me love you down on the river

Hear the crickets singing for a mile
And the sound of the bullfrog when he smiles
Meet me beside the still waters
And let me love you down on the river

It's like heaven when I love you
I'm so far away
And you know all my favorite songs to sing
Know the words to say

So come, follow me down the quiet side
Taste the old river deep and wide
And lead me beside the still waters
And let me love you down on the river

And the night bird calling
And I'm falling more in love each day
Want you sit by my side
And hold to my hand and love me all the way

And we'll leave all the highways far behind
And just take a little blanket with the wine
And lead me beside the still waters
And let me love you down on the river
And lead me beside the still waters
And let me love you down on the river
