Lyrics for Forty Days And Forty Nights

Forty days and forty nights Since my baby left this town Sunshinin' all day long But the rain keep 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 set right down and cried Keep rainin' all the time But the river is runnin' dry Lord help me it just ain't right I love that girl with all-a my might Forty days and forty nights Since my baby broke my heart Searchin' for her in a while 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 sea Prayin' for her each night That she would come back-a home to me Life is love and love is right I hope she come back home tonight
