All of my life I've been so happy
While I have had you by my side
Now you say you're gonna leave me
For to become someone else's bride
Oh, the river of love it has gone muddy
And the flowers, they are dying on the shore
And the blue skies have all turned to darkness
And the nightingale will sing no more
What can I do to hide my sorrow
What can I do to ease the pain?
How can I keep these tears from fallin'
Oh, darlin', won't you come back home again?
Oh, the river of love it has gone muddy
And the flowers, they are dying on the shore
And the blue skies have all turned to darkness
And the nightingale will sing no more
Tomorrow I will take you to the station
I will see that you're safely on that train
When the Two Nineteen has parted
I'll never ever see your smile again
Oh, the river of love it has gone muddy
And the flowers, they are dying on the shore
And the blue skies have all turned to darkness
And the nightingale will sing no more
And the blue skies have all turned to darkness
And the nightingale will sing no more
