Forty Days And Forty Nights

Forty days and forty nights
Since my baby left this town
Sunshining all day long
But the rain keep coming down
She's my life I need her so
Why she left I just don't know

Forty days and forty nights
Since I set right down and cried
Keep raining all the time
But the river is running dry
Lord help me it just ain't right
I love that girl with all-a my might

Forty days and forty nights
Since my baby broke my heart
Searching for her in a while
Like a blind man in the dark
Love can make a poor man rich
Or break his heart I don't know which

Forty days and forty nights
Like a ship out on the sea
Praying 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
