Lyrics:
By townes van zandt On the banks of the niles I courted my love I walked with her soft as a mournin' dove I loved her true I swear I still do And now she's gone without me I walk by the banks and give the lord thanks That I had the chance to court her I don't know why he flew her away I don't know why I'm left here The niles runs cold and clear As cold and clear as my tears I'll never forget, I'll never regret Those days on the beautiful niles Her name was diane her beautiful hands Were soft as the pearls in the water I looked in her eyes they were blue as the skies And now I've gone and left her I'll follow her down the way to the river Follow her now, now and forever She's my one and only smile On the beautiful banks of the niles Someday soon 'neath the light of the moon When the sun and the rain shine together I'll meet her down where the waters flow And continue to flow forever Down on the banks of the beautiful niles I wonder what I can be thinking Down on the banks of that beautiful river I'll wander, look for her forever I'll wander, look for her forever
