Down by the Riverside [French translation]

Let's snap our fingers,

Clap our hands,

Down by the riverside,

Down by the riverside,

Down by the riverside

Let's give 'em what the song demands,

Down by the riverside,

Down by the riverside.

We'll hear them playing, keep that beat

Down by the riverside,

Down by the riverside,

Down by the riverside.

Let's get together, what a treat,

Down by the riverside,

Down by the riverside.

Strike up the band,

Start the parade,

Don't let that grand old rhythm fade.

Just play that song,

Play that number,

When the saints come marchin' in

Shake tambourines,

Play that cornet

That trumpet horn you won't forget.

Your heart will hum to that number,

When the saints come marchin' in.

The cymbals clang,

Just pound that beat,

Sounds like a hundred marching feet.

It's fun to join in that number,

When the saints come marchin' in.

See banners wave,

Oh hear that ring,

We all feel prouder than a king.

'Cause everyone,

Everyone loves that number

When the saints come marchin' in
