River of no Return (feat. Tennessee Ernie Ford)

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)

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

She'll never return to me! (no return, no return, no return)
