40 Days and 40 Nights Lyrics

40 Days, and 40 nights
Since my baby left the town
Keep raining all day long
And it'll rain for 40 more
She's my life, I need her so
Why she left I just don't know
40 Days, and 40 nights
Since I sat right down and cried
Keep raining all the time
But the river is running dry

Lord help me, it just ain't right
I love that girl with all my heart
40 Days, and 40 nights
Since my baby broke my heart
Searchin' for her everywhere
Like a blind man in the dark
Girl can make a poor man rich
Break her heart, I don't know which
I'm not rich, I'm heartbroken
40 Days, and 40 nights
Like a ship out on the sea
Break my heart every day
That my baby won't come back to me
Lord gave love and love is right
I hope she come back home tonight
