I have been all across the country, and I have stayed in every town; You see, I´m trying to find my baby, and he ain´t nowhere around... Can you understand? You know which way I´m heading, if my baby can’t be found... oh, yeah
Well, I spoke to the river, and the river, the river spoke back to me; It said, "Oh! You look so lonely, and so much full of misery... Yes, you do now If you can´t find your baby, come on, girl, and make your home with me. Oh, yeah I don´t want to leave him - No, I know, I know he’s still alive! And someday, I´m going to find him, and he´s gonna take me for a ride Yes, he will now And then we´ll live forever and ever and ever, forever and ever among the tides... Oh, yes, we will! Just in case I don´t find him, I´m going to take that river´s invitation river´s invitation
Oh, oh, the river! Oh, oh, the river! Oh, the river, yeah... Oh, river´s invitation
