THE RIVER OF NO RETURN
Singer: Marilyn Monroe
If you listen, you can hear it's called: Wail-a-ree, Wail-a-ree...
There is a river called THE RIVER OF NO RETURN
Sometimes it's peaceful and sometimes wild and free!
Love is a trav'ler on THE RIVER OF NO RETURN.
Swept on for ever to be lost in the stormy sea.
Wail-a-ree... I can hear the river call (No return, no return.)
Where the roarin' waters fall wail-a-ree...
I can hear my lover call come to me. (No return, no return.)
I lost my love on the river and for ever my heart will yearn.
Gone... gone for ever...
Down THE RIVER OF NO RETURN.
Wail-a-ree... Wail-a-re-e-ee...
She'll/He'll never return to me! (No return, no return, no return.)
