Backstory:

The idea came from growing up near the Potomac River in the DC area at the Washington Harbor where there are always people enjoying the river on any given sunny afternoon.

DOWN BY THE RIVERSIDE
(Pete Papageorge)

V1:
Down by the riverside
Sun is shinin’, feelin’ fine
Sho’ is easy drinkin’ wine
Now’s the time to be, yeah

V2:
Down by the river’s edge
Fish are jumpin’ in the riverbed
And it’s just like someone said
He said the livin’s fine by me

1st Bridge:
Well, come on, baby, come on down
To the water rushin’ by, yeah
I love to love ya by the riverside
It feels good, it gets ya so high
Gets ya feelin’ so high

V3:
Down by the river’s flow
With your Huckleberry Romeo
Don’t need any money just to take it slow
Why don’t ya go along with me, yeah

V4:
Down by the riverside
Eagles flappin’ ‘way up high
Driftin’, dreamin’, dancin’ by
Where the water flows for free		

1st Bridge (repeated):
Well, come on, baby, come on down
To the water rushin’ by, yeah
I love to love ya by the riverside
It feels good, it gets ya so high
Gets ya feelin’ so high

Middle:
Down by the riverside
Down by the riverside
Down by the riverside
Down by the riverside
I said the river, river, river
Down by the riverside
I said the river, river, river
By the riverside

2nd Bridge:
Well, come on, baby, come on down
Come and go along with me, yeah
I love to love ya by the riverside
It feels good, and it’s for free
Gets ya feelin’ so free
	
End:
Down by the riverside
Down by the riverside
Down by the riverside
Down by the riverside
I said the river, river, river
Down by the riverside
I said the river, river, river
By the riverside
I said the riverside
By the river...
Down by the riverside
By the riverside
