I been walkin' in the mornin', honey
I been out there in the pourin' rain
Wish there was somethin' I could do or say
To make you change yo' mind and stay
Make you change yo' mind and stay

There's a river and it's wide and deep
Many secret it's been known to keep
Wish there was somethin' I could do or say
To make you change yo' mind and stay
Make you change yo' mind and stay

Yellow girl with the diamond eyes
Silver ribbon, she is quite the prize
Wish there was somethin' I could do or say
To make you change yo' mind and stay
Make you change yo' mind and stay

Such a very long and windin' road
Ain't got a clue where it's headed, oh
Wish there was somethin' I could do or say
To make you change yo' mind and stay
Make you change yo' mind and stay
