Mmm
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 traveler on the river of no return
Swept on forever to be lost in the stormy sea
(Wail-a-ree) I can hear the river call (no return, no return)
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 forever my heart will yearn
Gone, gone forever down the river of no return
Wail-a-ree (wail-a-ree), wail-a-ree
He'll never return to me (no return, no return), never
