Lyrics

I've got a lover way over there On the mountain side and I know that's where I should be (Gotta love, gotta love) Don't you know that I've got a lover way over there Across the river wide and I can hear her calling to me Oh, but she's calling my name (calling my name) So sweet and so plain, and I can hear her saying Come on, come I'm on my way Come on, come I'm gonna stay Come on, come, come (oh) They tell me that the river's too deep And it's much too wide boy, 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 I did before when she was mine, all mine 'Cause I can hear her saying Come on, come I'm on my way Come on, come I'm gonna stay Come on I'm gonna get to you Come on No matter what I have to do Come on, come on, come on, come on Dalrin', they tell me that the river's too deep And it's much too wide oh, 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 I did before when she was mine, all mine 'Cause I can hear her saying Come on, come I'm on my way Come on, come I'm gonna stay Come on, come on Baby when I get there, I ain't going nowhere No, because a river in't deep enough A mountain ain't steep enough to keep me from your side Come on, come on, come on
