There's a little girl a waiting down by the old river
Waiting just for my love so I got to go meet her
She say she is lonely just for me only
I got to go down to please her down by the old river

She's been mine for years I haven't seen her a long long time
She said on my return if my love for her still burns she would be mine
There's a little girl a waiting down by the old river
Waiting just for my love so I got to go meet her
[ steel - guitar ]
She's been mine for years...
