If you listen you can hear it call |
|
Wail-a-ree [wail-a-ree] |
|
There is a river called THE RIVER OF NO RETURN |
|
Sometimes it's peaceful and sometimes wild and free! |
|
Love is a trav'ler on THE RIVER OF NO RETURN |
|
Swept on for ever to be lost in the stormy sea |
|
Wail-a-ree I can hear the river call [ no return, no return ] |
|
Where the roarin' waters fall wail-a-ree |
|
I can hear my lover call come to me [ no return, no return ] |
|
I lost my love on the river and for ever my heart will yearn |
|
Gone gone for ever down THE RIVER OF NO RETURN |
|
Wail-a-ree wail-a-re-e-ee |
|
She'll/He'll never return to me! [ no return, no return, no return ] |
