forty days and forty nights
Forty days and forty nights
Since my baby left this town
Sunshinin all day long
But the rain keep comin down
Shes my life
I need her so
Why she left
I just dont know
Forty days and forty nights
Since I set right down and cried
Keep rainin all the time
But the river is runnin dry
Lord help me it just aint right
I love that girl with all-a my might
Forty days and forty nights
Since my baby broke my heart
Searchin for her in a while
Like a blind man in the dark
Love can make a poor man rich
Or break his heart
I dont know which
Forty days and forty nights
Like a ship out on the sea
Prayin for her each night
That she would come back-a home to me
Life is love and love is right
I hope she come back home tonight
