Down Where The Dark Waters Flow Lyrics - Hank Snow

Written and Recorded by Hank Snow 

Beneath the moon tonight 

I kneel close to my darling's side, 

Her eyes in death forever closed, 

My sweet and future bride. 

Beside some lonely river bank, 

Where the weeping willow grow, 

I'll ease my aching heart tonight, 

Down where the dark waters flow. 

I planted on her new made grave 

A tender rose with care, 

To bloom thru' all the lonely years 

While she is lying there. 

I'll place one tender kiss of love 

Upon that budding rose, 

And bid my world of cares goodbye 

Down where the dark waters flow.
