Over the River Songtext
von Bitty McLean

Oh, love divine, how sweet thou art
Where can I find such a loving heart?
For by thy side true love I find
This only leaves me to say, "Please be mine"

Over the river and over the sea
Look here, my darling, crying over me
Over the river and over the sea
Under the great oak tree

Forever, my sweetheart, my love will be true
My tears forever I′ll cry for you
My only care depends on thee
My heaven on earth relies on thee


Over the river and over the sea
Look here, my darling, crying over me
Over the river and over the sea
Under the great oak tree
Over the river and over the sea
My baby's crying over me
Over the river and over the sea
My baby′s crying over me

No other love have I none
Please don't leave me, not alone
For to a thousand tongues to sing
Tune into the song we bring

Over the river and over the sea
Look here, my darling, crying over me
Over the river and over the sea
Under the great oak tree

Forever, my sweetheart, my love will be true
My tears forever I'll cry for you
My only care depends on thee
My heaven on earth relies on thee


Over the river and over the sea
Look here, my darling, crying over me
Over the river and over the sea
Under the great oak tree
Over the river and over the sea
My baby′s crying over me
Over the river and over the sea
My baby′s crying over me
