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
  
  
 
 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
 
 They 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 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
