Way Over There

Whoa, whoa, whoa

I've got a lover way over there on the mountain side

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 so plain

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) Oh

They tell me that the river's too deep

And it's much too wide

Boy, 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 I did before when she was mine, all mine

'Cause I 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)

Oh, they tell me that the river's too deep

And it's much too wide

Boy, 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 I did before when she was mine, all mine

'Cause I can hear her saying

(Come to me baby)

I'm on the way

(Come to me baby)

I'm gonna stay

(Come to me baby)

Baby when I get there

I ain't going nowhere

Oh 'cause a river ain't deep enough

A mountain ain't steep enough

To keep me from your side

I-yah-yah-yah-yah-yah-yah-yah-yah
