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 I can hear her calling to me Oh, she's calling my name So sweet so plain I can hear her saying (Come to me, baby) I'm on my way (Come to me baby) 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 'Cause I hear her saying, (Come to me baby) I'm on my way (Come to me baby) I'm gonna stay I'm gonna get to you No matter what I have to do
