Lyrics Marilyn Monroe - The River Of No Return

If you listen you can hear it call
Wail-a-ree [wail-a-ree]
There is a river called
The River of no Return
Sometimes it's peaceful
And sometimes wild and free!

Love is a trav'ler
On the River of no Return
Swept on for ever
To be lost in the stormy sea
Wail-a-ree I can hear the river call
[ no return, no return ]

Where the roarin' waters fall wail-a-ree
I can hear my lover call come to me
[ no return, no return ]

I lost my love on the river and for ever my heart will yearn
Gone gone for ever
Down the River of no Return
Wail-a-ree wail-a-re-e-ee
She'll/He'll never return to me!
[ no return, no return, no return ]
