Walking By the River - Ella Fitzgerald, Leroy Kirkland and His Orchestra

There’s dew upon the ground

And not a soul in sight

I’m walking by the river

'Cause I’m meeting someone there tonight.

I hear a distant sound

I see a far-off light

I’m walking by the river

'Cause I’m meeting someone there tonight

The murmuring waters say

There’s no time to delay

So hurry on your way, my friend

If you don’t get there soon

There may not be a moon

To guide you to that happy end

My heart is riding high

My blues have taken flight

I’m walking by the river

'Cause I’m meeting someone there tonight

My heart is riding high

My blues have taken flight

I’m walking by the river

'Cause I’m meeting someone there tonight
