Oh Mourner let's go down
To the river, to the river
To the river let's go down
Feelin' happy, feelin' sad
Let's go down, let's go down
To the river, to the river
Oh Mourner let's go down
One morning I was a' walkin' down
Walkin' down, walkin' down
Saw a berry a' hangin' down
Pick the berry, pick the berry
Sweet as the honey in the comb
Mary, girl, you know my name
Show me the spring that never dry
Moon went into the poplar tree
You'll see the stars a' fallin' down
Wonder where my father gone
Won't be long, won't be long
'Till the stars a' fallin' down
Stars a' fallin', stars a' fallin'
See the stars a' fallin' down
Mary, girl, you know my name
Show me the spring that never dry
Moon went into the poplar tree
You'll see the stars a' fallin' down
Mary, girl, you know my heart
Show me the spring that never dry
Moon went into the poplar tree
You'll see the stars a' fallin' down
