[Verse] Forty days and forty nights Since my baby left this town Sunshining all day long But the rain keep coming 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 raining all the time But the river is running dry Lord help me it just isn't right I love that girl with all-a my might Forty days and forty nights Since my baby broke my heart Searching 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 Praying 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
