There is a river called the river of no return

Sometimes it's peaceful and sometimes wild and free

Love is a traveller on the river of no return

Swept on forever to be lost in the stormy sea

Wailare I can hear the river call

Where the roarin' waters fall Wailare

I can hear my lover call come to me

I lost my love on the river

And forever my heart will yearn

Gone gone forever

Down the river of no return

Wailare wailare

She will never return to me
