River Of No Return Lyrics by Marilyn Monroe
Clean Lyric
Paragraph Lyric
There is a river called 'The river of no return'
Sometimes it's peaceful and sometimes wild and free
Love is a traveler on 'The river of no return'
Swept on for ever to be lost in the stormy sea

Wail-a-ree I can hear the river call no return, no return
Where the roarin' waters fall wail-a-ree
I can hear my lover call come to me, no return, no return
I lost my love on the river and for ever my heart will yearn

Gone gone for ever down 'The river of no return'
Wail-a-ree, wail-a-re-e-ee, [unverified] never return to me
No return, no return, no return
There is a river called 'The river of no return'   Sometimes it's peaceful and sometimes wild and free   Love is a traveler on 'The river of no return'   Swept on for ever to be lost in the stormy sea      Wail-a-ree I can hear the river call no return, no return   Where the roarin' waters fall wail-a-ree   I can hear my lover call come to me, no return, no return   I lost my love on the river and for ever my heart will yearn      Gone gone for ever down 'The river of no return'   Wail-a-ree, wail-a-re-e-ee, [unverified] never return to me   No return, no return, no return
