| I've been all across the country, and I've stayed in every town; | |
| You see, I'm trying to find my baby, and he ain’t nowhere around... Can you understand? | |
| You know which way I'm heading, if my baby can’t be found... oh, yeah... | |
| Well, I spoke to the river, and the river, the river spoke back to me; | |
| It said, "Oh! You look so lonely, and so much full of misery... Yes, you do now... | |
| If you can't find your baby, come on, girl, and make your home with me. Oh, yeah..." | |
| I don't wanna leave him - No, I know, I know he’s still alive! | |
| And someday, I'm gonna find him, and he's gonna take me for a ride... Yes, he will now... | |
| And then we'll live forever and ever and ever, forever and ever among the tides... Oh, yes, we will! | |
| Just in case I don't find him, I'm gonna take that river's invitation... river's invitation... | |
| Oh, oh, the river! Oh, oh, the river! | |
| Oh, the river, yeah... Oh, river's invitation... | |
| Yeah, the river... |
