If the water rises higher
I think I might just have to swim.
And if the river grows wider
I think I might just throw myself in.
Well oh here it comes.
Oh here it comes.
Oh here it comes.
Sittin' here waitin' for the sun
Hunny why'd you wait so long?
Hunny why'd you wait so long?
Sittin' there in that rocking chair
Waitin' for your man to come
Hunny why'd you wait so long?
Well oh here he comes.
Oh here he comes.
Oh here he comes.
Told you that my man would come home!
Well if the rocking chair don't get me,
That old colliger will.
Well if the turtledove is going to guide me
'Til my body is just a shell.
And oh here it comes.
Oh here it comes.
Oh here it comes.
Turtledove why don't you guide me home?
Hunny why'd you wait so long?
Hunny why'd you wait so long?
Sittin' there in that rocking chair
Waitin' for your man to come
Hunny why'd you wait so long?
Well oh here he comes.
Oh and here he comes.
Oh here he comes.
Told you that my man would come home!
And if the water rises higher
I think I might just have to swim.
And if the river grows wider
I think I might throw myself in.
