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
