Forty Days And Forty Nights lyrics

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
