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
