Lonely river in the moonlight
Winding through my song
Weary waters keep on flowing
Lonely river roll along

Tell my love I'm broken hearted
I know I was wrong
Weary waters keep on flowing
Lonely river roll along

Tell her I'm waiting
Alone by the shore
Just say I'm pining
To see her once more

Lonely river in the moonlight
Winding through my song
Weary waters keep on flowing
Lonely river roll along
