I took my baby out and bought her a ring 我把我的孩子出来，给她买了戒指

Man, we planned a wedding come spring 男人，我们打算结婚来春天

Staring right into the eyes of my dreams 盯着右转入我梦想中的眼睛

Hand in hand, down on one knee 手牵手，单膝下跪

   

Down by the Riverside 走在河滩上

Down by the Riverside 走在河滩上

Told me she would be my bride 告诉我，她是我的新娘

Down by the Riverside 走在河滩上

   

She said yes as I held her tight 她说是因为我把她紧

We made love in the broad daylight 我们在光天化日之下做了爱

Now I know why the old folks say 现在我知道为什么老人们说，

Get too close and you'll get swept away 靠得太近，你会得到卷走

   

Down by the Riverside 走在河滩上

Down by the Riverside 走在河滩上

Told me she would be my bride 告诉我，她是我的新娘

Down by the Riverside 走在河滩上

   

Spring came and turned by baby's head around 春天来了，各地通过宝宝的头转向

Rains fell and now I feel like I might drown 下雨了，现在我觉得我可能会被淹死

Under the weight of this fools crown 在这个重量傻瓜冠

   

There's a tree down by the Riverside 有一棵树倒在河边

Once it held it's head up high 一旦它认定它的头高高

We carved our vows deep in its side 我们刻我们的誓言深侧

Now faithless love makes that willow cry 现在移情别恋的爱情是那柳哭

   

Down by the Riverside 走在河滩上

Down by the Riverside 走在河滩上

Told me she would be my bride 告诉我，她是我的新娘

Down by the Riverside 走在河滩上

   

Her love turned out to be a lie 她的爱原来是骗人的
