All of my life I've been so happy

While I have had you by my side

And now you say you're gonna leave me

For to become someone else's bride



Oh the river of love it has gone muddy

And the flowers they are dying on the shore

And the blue skies have all turned to darkness

And the nightingales will sing no more



What can I do to hide my sorrow?

What can I do to ease my pain?

And how can I keep these tears from fallin'?

Oh darlin' won't you come back hpme again?



Oh the river of love it has gone muddy

And the flowers they are dying on the shore

And the blue skies have all turned to darkness

And the nightingales will sing no more



Tomorrow I will take you to the station

And see that you're safely on that train

And when that 2:19 has departed

I'll never ever see your smile again



Oh the river of love it has gone muddy

And the flowers they are dying on the shore

And the blue skies have all turned to darkness

And the nightingales will sing no more

And the blue skies have all turned to darkness

And the nightingales will sing no more
