I've been all across the country
cnd I've stayed in every town
Because I'm trying to find my baby
But no one has seen her around
cnd you know which way I'm headed
If my baby can't be found

I spoke to the river
cnd the river spoke back to me
it said boy you look so lonely
You look full of misery
cnd if you can't find your baby
Come and make your home with me

Well, I don't want to leave her
Because I know she's still alive
cnd someday I'm going to find her
cnd I'll take her for a ride
cnd we'll live our lives forever
In our home among the tide
