There's dew, upon the ground
5 6 5 -4 4 7
And not, a soul in sight;
-6 7 -6 6 -5 -6 5
I'm walkin' by the river
5 -4 6 5 4 3 5 5 4
'Cause I'm meeting someone there tonight!
4 -6 -6 -6 -6 6
The murmuring waters say
4 6 6 6 -5 6
There's no time to delay,
-5 5 5 5 -5 6 -6 5
So hurry on your way, my friend!
4 -6 -6 -6 -6 6
If you don't get there soon,
5 6 5 6 5 6
There may not be a moon
-5 5 -4 5 -4 -6 5 -4
To guide you to that happy end!
6 6 5 -4 4 6
My heart is riding high,
5 6 5 -4 4 7
My blues have taken flight,
-6 7 -6 6 -5 -6 5
I'm walkin' by the river
5 -4 6 5 4 3 6 6 4
'Cause I'm meeting someone there tonight!
