RIVER OF NO RETURN

There is a river called the river of no return
Sometimes it's peaceful and sometimes wild and free!
Love is a trav'ler on the river of no return
Swept on for ever to be lost in the stormy sea
Wail-a-ree I can hear the river call
( no return, no return )
Where the roarin' waters fall wail-a-ree
I can hear my lover call come to me
( no return, no return )
I lost my love on the river and for ever my heart will yearn
Gone gone for ever down the river of no return
Wail-a-ree wail-a-re-e-ee
you'll never return to me!
( no return, no return, no return )
