River of No Return

There is a river called 'The river of no return'

Sometimes it's peaceful and sometimes wild and free

Love is a traveler on 'The river of no return'

Swept on for ever to be lost in the stormy sea

Wail-a-ree I can hear the river call no return, no return

Where the roarin' waters fall wail-a-ree

I can hear my lover call come to me, no return, no return

I lost my love on the river and for ever my heart will yearn

Gone gone for ever down 'The river of no return'

Wail-a-ree, wail-a-re-e-ee, [unverified] never return to me

No return, no return, no return
