Lyrics

I've got a lover way over there On the mountainside and I know that's where I should be (got a lover, got a lover, got a lover) Woah, don't you know I've got a lover way over there Across the river wide and I can hear him calling to me (got a lover, got a lover, got a lover) Woah, he's calling my name (calling my name) So sweet and so plain (calling my name) Can't hear him saying (come on) (Come on) I'm on m-my way (come on) (Come on) I'm gonna stay (come on) (Come on) well They tell me, that the river's too deep and it's much too wide For you can't make it over to the other side Don't know I've got to get there And hold him in my arms Just one more time like I did before He was mine oh mine Can't hear him saying (come on) (Come on) I'm on m-my way (come on) (Come on) I'm gonna stay (come on) (Come on) well They tell me, that the river's too deep and it's much too wide For you can't make it over to the other side They don't know I've got to get there And hold him in my arms Just one more time like I did before He was mine oh mine Can't hear her saying (Come on, come on, come on, yeah yeah) I'm on m-my way (Come on, come on, come on, yeah yeah) I'm gonna stay (Come on, come on, come on, yeah yeah) I'm gonna come to you (Come on, come on, come on, yeah yeah) No matter what I have to do (Come on, come on, come on, yeah yeah) A mountain ain't steap enough to keep (Come on, come on, come on, yeah yeah) To keep me from your side (Come on, come on, come on, yeah yeah) woah, woah (Come on, come on, come on, yeah yeah) I'm gonna come to you
