Forty Days and Forty Nights

Forty days and forty nights

Since my baby left this town

Sun shinin' all day long

But the rain keep comin' down

She's my life, I need her so

Why she left, I just don't know

Forty days and forty nights

Since I sat right down and cried

Keep rainin' all the time

But the river is runnin' dry

Lord, help me, it just ain't right

I love that girl with all of my might

Forty days and forty nights

Since my baby broke my heart

Searchin' for her everywhere

Like a blind man in the dark

Love can make a poor man rich

Or break his heart, I don't know which

Forty days and forty nights

Like a ship out on the sea

Prayin' for her each night

That she would come back home to me

Life is love and love is right

I hope she come back home tonight
