Lyrics River's Invitation - Percy Mayfield

I've been all across the country
And I've played in every town
Because I'm trying to find my baby
But no one has seen her around
Now you know which way I'm headed
If my baby can't be found
I spoke to the river
And the river spoke back to me
And it said, "You look so lonely
You look full of misery
And if you can't find your baby
Come and make your home with me
I don't want to leave her
Because I know she's still alive
And some day I'm gonna find her
Then I'll take her for a ride
Then we'll live our life forever
In a home among the tide.
