River's Invitation (Cocker Joe)

I've been all across the country And I've stayed in every town Because I'm trying to find my baby But no one has seen her around And 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 It said man you look so lonely You look full of misery And if you can't find your baby Come and make your home with me Well, I don't want to leave her Because I know she's still alive And someday I'm going to find her And I'll take her for a ride And we'll spend our days forever In our home beneath the tide
