If you listen you can hear it call wailaree
There is a river called the river of no return
Sometimes
It's peaceful and sometimes wild and free
Love is a trav'ler of the river of no return
Swept on forever to be lost in the stromy sea
Wailaree
I can hear the river call no return no return (Wailaree)
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
Wailaree
Wailaree
He'll never return to me
