I've got a lover way over there On the mountainside and I know that's where I should be Don't you know I've got a lover way over there Across the river wide, I can hear her calling to me Oh, she's calling my name So sweet and so plain And I can hear her saying Come to me baby I'm on my way Come to me baby I'm gonna stay Come to me baby They tell me that the river's too deep And it's much too wide for you can't get across to the other side But they don't know I got to get there And hold her in my arms just one more time Like a did before when she was mine, all mine 'Cause I can hear her saying Come to me baby I'm on my way Come to me baby I'm gonna stay Come to me baby I'm gonna get to you Come to me baby No matter what I have to do Come to me baby ♪ They tell me that the river's too deep And it's much too wide for you can't make it over to the other side But they don't know I got to get there And hold her in my arms just one more time Like a did before when she was mine, all mine 'Cause I can hear her saying Come to me baby I'm on my way Come to me baby I'm gonna stay Come to me baby Ooh, baby when I get there I ain't going nowhere 'Cause a river ain't deep enough A mountain ain't steep enough To keep me from your side
