[A] [Bb] I've got a lover way over there on the mountainside
And I [Gm] know that's where I should be
I love my lover
Oh don't you know [Bb] I've got a lover [Gm] way over there above [Bb] the river [Gm] wide
And I can hear him calling to me
I love him
Oh he's calling [Bb] my name
Calling [Gm] my name
So sweet and so blind
Calling my name
And I can hear him say
I'm [Bb] on my way
[Gm] I'm on [Bb] my way
I'm gonna stay [Gm] Well
[Bb] They tell me [Gm] that the river's too deep
And [Bb] it's much too wide
[Gm] For a canny naked woman [Bb] to the other [Gm] side
Don't you [Bb] know I've got to get [Gm] there
And hold him in my arms
[Bb] One more time
[Gm] Like I did before
