River Of No Return – Tennessee Ernie Ford

There is a river called the river of no return
Sometimes it’s peaceful and sometimes wild and free!
Love is a traveler on the river of no return

Swept on forever to be lost in the stormy sea

Wail-a-ree (Wail-a-ree)
I can hear the river call (no return, no return)
Where the roarin’ waters fall
Wail-a-ree
I can hear my lover call “Come to me” (no return, no return)
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-ree
She’ll never return to me!
(No return, no return, no return)
(Wail-a-ree)
(No return, no return, no return)
(Wail-a-ree)
(No return, no return, no return)
(Wail-a-ree)
