Lost my watch watch and chain But time's not lost This time we walk together beside the slow black river Water-walking over mud You whisper something Something good in my ear So I stop so I can hear Darling I'm the one to blame I threw your watch and chain To where I don't know Inside the tall grass meadow You'll forget forget in time Remember this Your hand in mine forever Beside the slow black river Lost my watch watch and chain to her today But time it has no meaning When her and me are walking Darling I'm the one to blame I love you still And timeless now forever Together by the river
