The River of No Return lyrics

If you listen,

You can hear it call: "Wail-a-ree"

(Wail-a-ree)

There is a river called "The River of No Return"

Sometimes it's peaceful

And sometimes wild and free

Love is a trav'ler on "The River of No Return"

Swept on forever

To be lost in the stormy sea

(Wail-a-ree)

I can hear the river call

(No return, no return)

No return, no return

(Wail-a-ree)

I can hear my lover call: "Come to me!"

I lost my love on the river

And forever my heart will yearn

Gone, gone forever

Down "The River of No Return"

Wail-a-ree

(Wail-a-ree)

Wail-a-reeeeee

He'll never return to me!

(No return, no return)
