|
Forty days and forty nights |
|
Since my baby left this town |
|
Sun shining all day long |
|
But the rain keep coming down |
|
He's my life, |
|
I love him so |
|
Why he left |
|
I'll never know |
|
Forty days, forty nights |
|
Since I sat right down and cried |
|
Keep raining all the time |
|
But the river is, river running dry |
|
Lord, help me, it just ain't right |
|
I love that man with all my might |
|
Forty days, forty nights |
|
Since my baby broke my heart |
|
Keep searching for him all the while |
|
Like a blind man in the dark |
|
Love can make a poor girl rich |
|
Or break her heart, |
|
I don't know which |
|
Forty days and forty nights |
|
Like a ship out on the sea |
|
Praying, praying for him every night |
|
That he'd come back home to me |
|
Life is love and love is right |
|
I hope he come back home tonight |
|
Forty days, forty nights |
|
Since my baby left this town |
|
Sun shining all day long |
|
But the river keep coming, rain keep coming down |
|
He's my life and |
|
I love him so |
|
Why he left |
|
I will never know |
|
Why he left |
|
Why he left |
|
I'll never know |
|
Why he left |
|
I will never know |
|
Why he left |
|
I'll never know |
