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 traveler on the river of no return Swept on forever 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 forever my heart will yearn Gone, gone forever down the river of no return Wail-a-ree (Wail-a-ree), wail-a-ree She'll never return to me! (no return, no return, no return) --- River of No Return - Tennessee Ernie Ford
