By The River Sainte Marie

By The River Sainte Marie - Jimmie Lunceford

I left her by the River Sainte Marie

We pledged our love until eternity

Along the pebbl'd pathway from her door

We kissed and then we kissed again

And parted on the shore

The Angelus rang out upon the sea

I saw her kneel and say a prayer for me

When winter's gone and spring come on

I'll meet her by the River Sainte Marie
