The River's Invitation - Original Mono - Percy Mayfield

If I ever get lucky

And win my train fare home

If I ever get lucky

And win my train fare home

I’m gonna pack my grip, grab me a fast train

And down the road I’m gone

I used to love a woman

That I thought was in love with me

I used to love a woman

That I thought was in love with me

But she played me for a fool

As anyone can plainly see

No need of me to keep begging

There’s no need of me to cry

There’s no use for me to keep begging

There’s no use for me to cry

I know I’m hooked behind that woman

Until the day I die
