American Old Time Song Lyrics: 17 The Danube River
Theater, Music-Hall, Nostalgic, Irish & Historic Old Songs, Volume 17
THE DANUBE RIVER
Do you recall that night in June,
Upon the Danube River?
We listened to a Lander tune,
We watched the moonbeams quiver?
I oft since then have watched the moon,
But never, love, Oh! never,
Can I forget that night in June,
Upon the Danube River;
Can I forget that night in June,
Upon the Danube River.
Can I forget that night in June,
Upon the Danube River;
Can I forget that night in June
Upon the Danube River.
Our boat kept measure with its oar,
The music rose in snatches,
From peasants dancing on the shore,
With boisterous songs and catches.
I know not why that Lander rang
Through all my soul, but never, never
Can I forget the songs they sang,
Upon the Danube River;
Can I forget the songs they sang,
Upon the Danube River.
Can I forget the songs they sang,
Liking the Danube River;
Can I forget the songs they sang,
Upon the Danube River.
