Deep river woman
  Lord I'm coming home to you
  Deep river woman
  Lord I know she's waiting
  Just anticipating all my love
  
  I spent a night
  Just another chance to see you
  Just you and I
  Wanted you to know
  That my playing days are over
  Cause all I do is think of you
  The writing's on the wall
  
  I've been out in the world
  Yes, the fast life had me going
  
  Now all that's changed
  I finally make up my mind
  About the one thing
  I've been knowing
  You're the only girl
  I've ever crying for in this world
  
  You kind of love is forever
  It took me a long time to realize
  That I've come so far
  And end up going nowhere
  Oh, girl, I need you by my side
