River of No Return

Mmm

If you listen, you can hear it call, "Wail-a-ree" (wail-a-ree)

There is a river called the river of no return

Sometimes it's peaceful and sometimes wild and free

Love is a traveler on the river of no return

Swept on forever to be lost in the stormy sea

(Wail-a-ree) I can hear the river call (no return, no return)

No return, no return (where the roarin' waters fall)

(Wail-a-ree) I can hear my lover call, "Come to me"

(No return, no return)

I lost my love on the river

And forever my heart will yearn

Gone, gone forever down the river of no return

Wail-a-ree (wail-a-ree), wail-a-ree

He'll never return to me (no return, no return), never
