River's Invitation

I’ve been all across the country
And I’ve stayed in every town
You see, I’m trying to find my baby
And he ain’t nowhere around, I can’t understand it
You know which way I’m heading, if my baby can’t be found
Oh yeah
Well, I spoke to the river
And the river, the river spoke back to me
It said, «Oh!
You look so lonely, and so much full of misery
Yes, you do now
If you can’t find your baby
Come on, girl, and make your home with me, oh yeah»
I don’t want to leave him
No, I know, I know he’s still alive
And someday, I’m going to find him
And he’s gonna take me for a ride — yes, he will now
And then we’ll live forever and ever and ever
Forever and ever among the tides
Oh, yes, we will
Just in case I don’t find him, I’m going to take that river’s invitation
River’s invitation
Oh, oh, the river!
Oh, oh, the river
Oh, the river, yeah, oh, river’s invitation
Yeah, the river
