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
I can hear her calling to me
Oh, she's calling my name
So sweet so plain
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 too deep
And it's much too wide
Boy, you can't get 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 hear her saying, (Come to me baby)
I'm on my way (Come to me baby)
I'm gonna stay I'm gonna get to you
No matter what I have to do
