The River’s Invitation
Percy Mayfield
I've been all across the country
And I've played in all the towns
Because I'm gonna find my baby
But no one has seen her around
Now you know which way I'm headed
If my baby can't be found
Well, I spoke to the river
And the river spoke back to me
And it said you look so lonely
You look full of misery
And if you can't find your lady
You can find your home with me
Well, I don't want to leave her
Because I know she'll be around
And someday I'm going to find her
And I'll take her for a ride
And we'll live our life together
In our home right by my side
