Down by the river of gold
We met when we were six years old
We spoke about old mother hubbard
And why she lived in a cupboard
River of gold Now we are getting old
Our childhood is long gone Now it is in a song
We will look back into times gone by
When we played on rope swings and did strange things
We had great fun didn't plan a thing
When we were twenty one I gave you a ring
River of gold Now we are getting old
Our childhood is long gone Now it is in a song
Oh beautiful lady stand by my side
Go to the alter then go outside
Let's go to Paris for our honeymoon
Now were together it can't be to soon
We'll still be together when we grow old
Maybe have children that we can hold
Hope they'll be as happy as we are
When we were young we had the answer
River of gold Now we are getting old
Our childhood is long gone Now it is in a song
