I´ve been all across the country
And I´ve stayed in every town
Because I´m trying to find my baby
But no one has seen her around
And you know which way I´m headed

If my baby can´t be found

I spoke to the river
And the river spoke back to me
It said man you look so lonely
You look full of misery
And if you can´t find your baby
Come and make your home with me

Well, I don´t want to leave her
Because I know she´s still alive
And someday I´m going to find her
And I´ll take her for a ride
And we´ll spend our days forever
In our home beneath the tide
