verse
i’ve got a lover way over there on the mountainside
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
come to me baby
i’m gonna get to you
come to me baby
no matter what i have to do
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
come to me baby
baby when i get there i ain’t going nowhere
come to me baby
ohh ’cause a river ain’t deep enough
and a mountain ain’t steep enough
to keep me from your side
oh yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
come to me baby
