The River of No Return (From "The River of No Return") - Marilyn Monroe

If you listen you can hear it call, Wail-a-ree There is a river called THE

RIVER OF NO RETURN

Sometimes it’s peaceful and sometimes wild and free!

Love is a trav’ler on THE RIVER OF NO RETURN

Swept on forever to be lost in the stormy sea

Wail-a-ree I can hear the river call (no return, no return wail-a-ree) I can

hear my lover call come to me (no return, no return)

I lost my love on the river and forever my heart will yearn

Gone, gone forever down THE RIVER OF NO RETURN

Wail-a-ree wail-a-re-e-ee

He’ll never return to me… (no return, no return, no return) Never.
