Lyrics

I've been across the country
And I've played in every man's town
'Cause I got to find my baby
But nobody has seen her around
And you know which way I'm headed
If my baby cannot be found
Well, I spoke to the river
And the river spoke back to me
He said, "You look so lonely
And so full of misery
Misery"
"And if you can't find your baby
Come and spend your life with me"
Spend it with me
Oh, uh-uh-uh, uh-uh
Uh-uh-uh-uh, uh-uh-uh
Though I know that I'll find her
Because I know that woman is still alive
I'm gonna get hold of my baby
And make her my bride
Side by side
And we'll spend our lives together
In our home among the tide
Gonna spend our lives together
In the tide
Speaking to the river, I said, "Tell me now
Will you let my baby and me
Flow down to the sea?"
He said, "Yeah, you got an open invitation
To come down to the sea"
