Meet me at the river’s edge
Let’s stay out all night long
I’ll dance in my bare feet
While you play that riverboat song
Just me and you and the crickets too
And a jar of fireflies
Won’t ask for much
Just your loving touch
Got the stars caught in my eyes
Sweeter than a honeysuckle
Sweeter than the pine
This thing that we got goin’
Gets better all the time
Can’t wait til the sun comes up
And I can call you mine
For now I’ll just fill your cup
With that huckleberry wine
Hey sugar, hey sugar
Come sit next to me
I’ll be your wildwood flower
If you’ll be my honey bee
I know that I’m not yours yet
But soon I hope to be
Like the moon to the sun
Or magnolia to the tree
Sweeter than a honeysuckle
Sweeter than the pine
This thing that we got goin’
Gets better all the time
Can’t wait til the sun comes up
And I can call you mine
For now I’ll just fill your cup
With that huckleberry wine

My true love wrote me a letter
It will not be long 'fore he comes home
He's been off in war fighting
Three years is such a while to be alone
Hey there, hey darlin’
I never thought that you’d come back to me
Oh my dear friend Missy
You can see him looking there so fine
Once I held him in my arms
But now he is just a friend of mine
Yeah there were days when I knew him
There were days when I knew him well
If you have any false ideas
Remember that you promised not to tell
Hey there, hey darlin’
I never thought that you’d come back to me
Put a dress on, put a dress on
Brush my hair til it runs straight and free
Little things they mean so much
Now that my love is coming back to me
Then that night I heard a-knockin’
And I ran for my love oh to see
But it was just a man with a letter in his hand
It said my love would not come back to me
The first time I went wayward
I knew it might come to this
It may not be all I dreamed
But that's just the way that it is
Hey there, hey darlin’
I never thought that you’d come back to me
