River's Invitation Songtext
von Barbara Morrison

I′ve been all across the country
And I've played every town
Tryin′ to find my baby
No one has seen him around, uh-huh
And I know which way I'm a-headin'
If my baby can be found, oh Lord
Let me tell you what I did

I spoke, I spoke to the river
And the river spoke back to me
It said, "Why do you look so lonely, girl?
You look full of misery, uh-huh
And if you can′t find your baby
Come on and make your own right here with me"
Ooh-wee, play the blues, play the blues, play the blues


I don′t, I don't wanna leave here
′Cause I know that he's still alive
When I find my baby
I′m, I'm gonna take him for a ride
I′ll take him for a ride
And we'll live our lives together
In that home amongst the tide, oh Lord

I don't, oh Lord, I don′t wanna leave here
′Cause I know, oh no, I know he's still alive
Hey, oh, hey, oh, when I find my baby
I′m gonna take him for a ride
I'll take him for a ride
And we′ll live our lives together
In that home amongst the tide
Oh yeah, oh yeah, amongst the tide
