Joe Cocker

(Percy Mayfield)
Ive been all across the country
And Ive stayed in every town
Because Im trying to find my baby
But no one has seen her around
And you know which way Im headed
If my baby cant be found
I spoke to the river
And the river spoke back to me
It said man you look so lonely
You look full of misery
And if you cant find your baby
Come and make your home with me
Well, I dont want to leave her
Because I know shes still alive
And someday Im going to find her
And Ill take her for a ride
And well spend our days forever
In our home beneath the tide
[ Rivers Invitation Lyrics ]
