Down on Deep River by Leon Russell D Em D C7 Old Man Moon across the swampy river rise D Em D C7 Cast a quiet reflection in your eyes G D C7 G Meet me beside the still waters and Let me love you down on the river Em D C7 Hear the crickets singing for a mile Em D C7 And the sound of the bullfrog when he smiles G D C7 G Meet me beside the still waters and Let me love you down on the river G Em D C7 G Em D C7 G It's like heaven when I love you I'm so far a - way Em D7 C G And you know all my favorite songs to sing F5 Em D Know the words to say D Em D C7 So come follow me down the quiet side Em D C7 Taste the old river deep and wide G D C7 G Lead me beside the still waters, Let me love you down on the river Em D C7 G Em D C G And the night bird calling and I'm falling more in love each day Em D C7 G F5 Em D Want you sit by my side and hold to my hand and love me all the way D Em D C7 And we'll leave all the highways far behind D Em D C7 And just take a little blanket with the wine G D C7 G And lead me beside the still waters and Let me love you down on the river G D C7 G And lead me beside the still waters and Let me love you down on the river
