|
Forty days and forty nights |
|
Since my baby left this town |
|
Sunshinin' all day long |
|
But the rain keep comin' down |
|
She's my life I need her so |
|
Why she left I just don't know |
|
Forty days and forty nights |
|
Since I set 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-a my might |
|
Forty days and forty nights |
|
Since my baby broke my heart |
|
Searchin' for her in a while |
|
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-a home to me |
|
Life is love and love is right |
|
I hope she come back home tonight |
