River’s Invitation Songtext
von Bobby Rush

I′ve been cross the country
And I've been in every town
Tryin′ to find my woman
No one seen her around
No one seen her around
Tryin' to find my woman
Ah-ha, to bring her back around
Tried to bring her out

And I spoke to a river
And that river spoke back to me
Said, "You look so lonely
You look full of misery"
Full of misery
Said, "If you can't find your woman, Bobby Rush
Come and make your home with me"
Make your home with me


And I looked in the mirror
That mirror looked back at me
It said, "You look so lonely
You look full of misery"
Full of misery
If you can′t find your woman
Come and make your home with me
Make your home with me

I′m gonna buy me a bigger airplane
Gonna fly from town to town
If I can't find my woman
Never gonna ease it down
I won′t ease it down
But if I find the one I'm lovin′
Cut the motor off and let the sucker hit the ground
Let it hit the ground

I've been everywhere
And I′ve looked in every town
I've been tryin' to find my woman
No one seen my woman around
Ain′t seen her around
If I can′t find my woman
Jumpin' off in the Mississippi River and drown
Haha, I believe I′ll drown
Ha, I believe I'll drown
Kill myself
