| Forty days and forty nights
|
| Since my baby left this town
|
| Sunshinin' 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-a my might
|
| Forty days and forty nights
|
| Since my baby broke my heart
|
| Searchin' for her in a while
|
| 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 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 |
