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