Forty days and forty nights Since my baby left this town Sun shining all day long But the rain keep coming down She's my life I need her soul Why she left I just don't know
Forty days and forty nights Since I sat right down and cried Keep rainin' all the time But the river is runnin' dry Lord, help me it just ain right I loved that girl will all my might
Forty days and forty nights Since my baby broke my heart Searchin' for her everywhere Like a blind man in the dark Love can a poor man rich Or make his heart go nowhere
Forty days and forty nights Like a ship out on the sea Prayin' for her each night That she would come back home to me Life is love, and love is life I hope she come back home tonight
