Forty Days And Forty Nights

Forty days and forty nights Since my baby done left this town Oh the sun shinin' all day long But the rain it just keeps on comin' down She's my life I need her so Why she left I just don't know Forty days and forty nights Since I sat right down and cried It keeps on rainin' all the time But the river is runnin' dry Lord help me it just ain't right I love that girl with all my might Forty days and forty nights Since my baby done broke my heart I've been searchin' for her everywhere Just 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 stormy sea I've been prayin' for her every night That she would come back home to me Life is love and love is light I hope she comes back home tonight
