Way Over There

(album: Please Mr. Postman - 1961)

I've got a lover way over there on the mountain side
And I know that's where I should be
Don't you know, I've got a lover way over there across the river wide
And I can hear him calling to me
Oh, he's calling my name
So sweet and so plain
Can't you hear him saying
(Come on...)
I'm on my way
(Come on...)
I'm gonna stay

They tell me that the river's too deep and it's much too wide
For I can't make it over to the other side
But don't you know I got to get there
And hold him in my arms just one more time
Like I did before when he was mine, all mine
Can't you hear him saying
(Come on...)
I'm on my way
(Come on...)
I'm gonna stay

They tell me that the river's too deep and it's much too wide
For I can't make it over to the other side
But don't you know I got to get there
And hold him in my arms just one more time
Like I did before when he was mine, all mine
Can't you hear him saying
(Come on...)
I'm on my way
(Come on...)
I'm gonna stay
I'm gonna come to you
No matter what I have to do
