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 And I can hear him calling to me Oh, he's calling my name So sweet and so plain Can't you hear him saying (Come on...) I'm on my way (Come on...) I'm gonna stay They tell me that the river's too deep and it's much too wide For I can't make it over to the other side But don't you know I got to get there And hold him in my arms just one more time Like I did before when he was mine, all mine Can't you hear him saying (Come on...) I'm on my way (Come on...) I'm gonna stay They tell me that the river's too deep and it's much too wide For I can't make it over to the other side But don't you know I got to get there And hold him in my arms just one more time Like I did before when he was mine, all mine Can't you hear him saying (Come on...) I'm on my way (Come on...) I'm gonna stay I'm gonna come to you No matter what I have to do ...
