DOWN BY THE RIVER / WHERE THE GREEN GRASS GROWS by ANONYMOUS

Last Line: AND A DAMASCENE GOWN

DOWN by the river
Where the green grass grows,
Pretty Polly Perkins
Bleaches her clothes.
She laughs and she sings,
And she sings so sweet.
She calls, Come over,
Across the street.
He kissed her, he kissed her,
He took her to the town;
He bought her a ring
And a damascene gown.
