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
Till 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
