Tis down by the river-side, a fair maid I espied
She was lamenting for her own true love
She was lamenting, sighing, crying, for her own true love

"What makes you sigh & cry, my fair pretty maid" said I.
I'm lamenting for my own true love
I'm lamenting, sighing, crying for my own true love

Now she is got wed & all her sorrow fled
She's a-living with her own true love
She's laughing, dancing singing with her own true love

DOWN BY A RIVERSIDE.
[below title, in hand:] D803
Note-book D.VII. p.74.	Mrs. Marina Russell,
				Upwey, Dorset.
				Jan/Feb. 1907.

'Tis down by the riverside, a fair maid I espied,
She was lamenting for her own true love,
She was lamenting, sighing, crying, for her own true love.

"What makes you sigh & cry, my fair pretty maid," said I.
"I'm lamenting for my own true love,
I'm lamenting, sighing, crying for my own true love."

Now she is got wed and all her sorrow fled,
She's a-living with her own true love,
She's laughing, dancing singing with her own true love.

[the following in handwriting:]
F.S.J.4.204 gives an introductory verse and a verse which
would go between verses 2 & 3 above. All the same there
still seems to be verses missing. The tune is almost
identical.
