|
Forty days and forty nights |
|
Since my baby left this town |
|
The sun shinin' all day long |
|
But the rain keep comin' 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't right |
|
I love that girl with 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 make a poor man rich |
|
Or break his heart, I don't know which |
|
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 light |
|
I hope she come back home tonight |
