I've got a lover way over there
On the mountainside and I know that's where I should be (got a lover, got a lover, got a lover)
Woah, don't you know I've got a lover way over there
Across the river wide and I can hear him calling to me (got a lover, got a lover, got a lover)
Woah, he's calling my name (calling my name)
So sweet and so plain (calling my name)
Can’t hear him saying (come on)
(Come on) I'm on m-my way (come on)
(Come on) I’m gonna stay (come on)
(Come on) well

They tell me, that the river's too deep and it's much too wide
For you can't make it over to the other side
Don't know I've got to get there
And hold him in my arms
Just one more time like I did before
He was mine oh mine
Can’t hear him saying (come on)
(Come on) I'm on m-my way (come on)
(Come on) I’m gonna stay (come on)
(Come on) well

Just one more time like I did before
He was mine oh mine
Can’t hear her saying
(Come on, come on, come on, yeah yeah) I'm on m-my way
(Come on, come on, come on, yeah yeah) I’m gonna stay
(Come on, come on, come on, yeah yeah) I'm gonna come to you
(Come on, come on, come on, yeah yeah) No matter what I have to do
(Come on, come on, come on, yeah yeah) A mountain ain't steap enough to keep
(Come on, come on, come on, yeah yeah) To keep me from your side
(Come on, come on, come on, yeah yeah) woah, woah
(Come on, come on, come on, yeah yeah) I'm gonna come to you
