Down On Deep River - Leon Russell

Old man moon across the swampy river rise

Casts his quiet reflection in your eyes

So lead me beside the still waters

Let me love you down on deep river

Hear the crickets singing for a mile

And the sound of the bullfrogs makes you smile

So lead me beside the still waters

Let me love you down on deep river

It’s like heaven when I’m loving you

Times so far away

And you know all my favorite songs to sing

You know the words to say

So come, follow me down the quiet side

And taste this old river deep and wide

And lead me beside the still waters

And let me love you down on deep river

And the night bird’s calling

And I’m falling more in love each day

Want you sit by my side

And hold to my hand and love me all the way

And we’ll leave all the highways far behind

And just take a little blanket with the wine

And lead me beside the still waters

Let me love you down on deep river

Lead me beside the still waters

Let me love you down on deep river
