The River of No Return Songtext
von 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 traveller on the River of No Return
Swept on forever to be lost in a stormy sea


Wail-a-ree, I can hear the river call
Where the rollin' waters fall
Wail-a-ree, I can hear my lover call
Come to me

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
She′ll never return to me

Wail-a-ree
Wail-a-ree
Wail-a-ree
