Forty days and forty nights
Since my baby done left this town
Oh the sun shinin` all day long
But the rain it just keeps on comin` down
She`s my life I need her so
Why she left I just don`t know
Forty days and forty nights
Since I sat right down and cried
It keeps on rainin` all the time
But the river is runnin` dry
Lord help me it just ain`t right
I love that girl with all my might
Forty days and forty nights
Since my baby done broke my heart
I`ve been searchin` for her everywhere
Just like a blind man in the dark
Love can make a poor man rich
Or break his heart, I don`t know which
Forty days and forty nights
Like a ship out on the stormy sea
I`ve been prayin` for her every night
That she would come back home to me
Life is love and love is light
I hope she comes back home tonight |
