All of my life I've been so happy While I have had you by my side And now you say you're gonna leave me  For to become someone else's bride Oh the river of love it has gone muddy And the flowers they are dying on the shore  And the blue skies have all turned to darkness And the nightingales will sing no more What can I do to hide my sorrow? What can I do to ease my pain?   And how can I keep these tears from fallin'?   Oh darlin' won't you come back home again? Oh the river of love it has gone muddy And the flowers they are dying on the shore  And the blue skies have all turned to darkness And the nightingales will sing no more Tomorrow I will take you to the station And see that you're safely on that train   And when that Two-Nineteen has departed      I'll never ever see your smile again Oh the river of love it has gone muddy And the flowers they are dying on the shore  And the blue skies have all turned to darkness And the nightingales will sing no more And the blue skies have all turned to darkness And the nightingales will sing no more
