Down along the cove
I spied my true love comin´ my way
Down along the cove
I spied my true love comin´ my way
I say, “Lord, have mercy, mama
It sure is good to see you comin´ today"

Down along the cove
I spied my little bundle of joy
Down along the cove
I spied my little bundle of joy
She said, “Lord, have mercy, honey
I´m so glad you´re my boy!”

Down along the cove
We walked together hand in hand
Down along the cove
We walked together hand in hand.
Ev´rybody watchin´ us go by
Knows we´re in love, yes, and they understand
