River Of Gold Lyrics - Yarabata Ridge

Down by the river of gold 

We met when we were six years old 

We spoke about old mother hubbard 

And why she lived in a cupboard 

River of gold Now we are getting old 

Our childhood is long gone Now it is in a song 

We will look back into times gone by 

When we played on rope swings and did strange things 

We had great fun didn't plan a thing 

When we were twenty one I gave you a ring 

River of gold Now we are getting old 

Our childhood is long gone Now it is in a song 

Oh beautiful lady stand by my side 

Go to the alter then go outside 

Let's go to Paris for our honeymoon 

Now were together it can't be to soon 

We'll still be together when we grow old 

Maybe have children that we can hold 

Hope they'll be as happy as we are 

When we were young we had the answer 

River of gold Now we are getting old 

Our childhood is long gone Now it is in a song
