Way over There
I've got a lover way over there
On the mountainside and I know that's where I should be
Don't you know I've got a lover way over there
Across the river wide, I can hear her calling to me
Oh, she's calling my name
So sweet and so plain
And I can hear her saying
Come to me baby
I'm on my way
Come to me baby
I'm gonna stay
Come to me baby
They tell me that the river's too deep
And it's much too wide for you can't get across to the other side
But they don't know I got to get there
And hold her in my arms just one more time
Like a did before when she was mine, all mine
'Cause I can hear her saying
Come to me baby
I'm on my way
Come to me baby
I'm gonna stay
Come to me baby
I'm gonna get to you
Come to me baby
No matter what I have to do
Come to me baby
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
But they don't know I got to get there
And hold her in my arms just one more time
Like a did before when she was mine, all mine
'Cause I can hear her saying
Come to me baby
I'm on my way
Come to me baby
I'm gonna stay
Come to me baby
Ooh, baby when I get there
I ain't going nowhere
'Cause a river ain't deep enough
A mountain ain't steep enough
To keep me from your side
On the mountainside and I know that's where I should be
Don't you know I've got a lover way over there
Across the river wide, I can hear her calling to me
Oh, she's calling my name
So sweet and so plain
And I can hear her saying
Come to me baby
I'm on my way
Come to me baby
I'm gonna stay
Come to me baby
They tell me that the river's too deep
And it's much too wide for you can't get across to the other side
But they don't know I got to get there
And hold her in my arms just one more time
Like a did before when she was mine, all mine
'Cause I can hear her saying
Come to me baby
I'm on my way
Come to me baby
I'm gonna stay
Come to me baby
I'm gonna get to you
Come to me baby
No matter what I have to do
Come to me baby
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
But they don't know I got to get there
And hold her in my arms just one more time
Like a did before when she was mine, all mine
'Cause I can hear her saying
Come to me baby
I'm on my way
Come to me baby
I'm gonna stay
Come to me baby
Ooh, baby when I get there
I ain't going nowhere
'Cause a river ain't deep enough
A mountain ain't steep enough
To keep me from your side
