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

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
i´m gonna stay
come to me baby

they tell me that the river´s to deep and it´s much to wide for you can´t get across 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 a did before when she mine all mine, cause 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
i´m gonna get to you
come to me baby
no matter what i have to do
come to me baby

they tell me that the river´s to deep and it´s much to wide for you can´t make it 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 a did before when she mine all mine, cause 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
ooh, baby when i get there, i ain´t going nowhere, because a river in´t deep enough, a mountain ain´t steap enough to keep me from your side
