I've lived a life full of sorrow with no where [bad word] or to hide
Happiness you'll see is borrowed all I want is you by my side

Gentle river take me away to the time of happier days
All I need is love [bad word] gentle river bring him back to me

You can spend all your time a-cryin' listen here I don't need your sympathy
'Cause I've made my life to live it all I need is you here with me

Gentle river take me away to the time of happier days
All I need is love [bad word] gentle river bring him back to me

Gentle river bring him back to me
