Where will you go my darling daughter? I'm gonna live down by the water If I ever could find the time, never no reason or rhyme I'm gonna live down by the water I'm gonna send a dozen roses Down the river like baby Moses And I'll wash my tears away when I'm down in the river today I'm gonna a dozen roses, a dozen roses And who will be your one and only (When) when the days are lost and lonely And the little blue birds of spring go down to the river to sing Who will hear their testimony? Sing a little song, darling Sing it like a little blue starling In the country or the town and for miles all around Sing a little song darling Now the days are getting hotter I'm gonna live down by the water If I ever could find the time, never no reason nor rhyme I'm gonna live down by the water Down by the water, gonna live down by the water Gonna live down by the water, gonna live down by the water
