Forty days and forty nights
since my baby done left the town
Sun shinin' all day long
but the rain keep comin' down
She's my life I need her so
why she left I just don't know
Forty days and forty nights
since I sat right down and cried
Keeps rainin' all the time
but the river keep runnin' dry
Lord help me,it just ain't right
I love that girl with all my might
Forty days and forty nights
since my baby broke my heart
Searchin' for her everywhere
like a blind man in the dark
Love can make a poor man rich
or break his heart,I don't know which
Forty days and forty nights
like a ship out on the sea
Prayin' for her each night
that she'd come back home to me
Life is love and love is right
I hope she come back home tonight
