He's gonna buy me a mockingbird
And if that mockingbird don't sing
He's gonna buy me a diamond ring
And if that diamond ring don't shine
He's surely, surely break this heart of mine
And that's why, yes indeed so
I keep tellin' everybody
Yeah, yeah, oh, oh, oh, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
Hear me now and understand
He's gonna find me peace of mind
And if that peace of mind won't stay
I'm gonna find myself a better way
And if that better way ain't so
I'll ride with the tide and roll with the flow
And that's why, yes indeed so
I keep shoutin' in you ear
Yeah, yeah, oh, oh, oh, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
Left a good job in the city
Workin' for the man
Every night and day
And I never lost one minute of sleepin'
I was worrin' bout the way
Things might have been
Big wheel keep on turnin'
Proud Mary keep on burnin'
Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river
Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river
If you need me, call me
No matter where you are
No matter how far
Just call my name
I'll be there in a hurry
On that you can depend
And never worry
Ain't no mountain high enough
Ain't no valley low enough
Ain't no river wide enough
To keep me from you
Ain't no mountain high enough
Ain't no valley low enough
Ain't no river wide enough
To keep me from you
Ain't no mountain high enough
Nothing can keep me, keep me from you
Ain't no mountain high enough
Nothing can keep me, keep me from you
Never can say goodbye
No, no, no, no
Never can say goodbye
Even tho' the pain and heartache
Seem to follow wherever I go
Tho' I tried and tried to hide my feelings
They always seem to show
Then you try to say you're leaving
And I always gotta say no
Tell me why, tell me why
Is it so, is it so
Never gonna let you go
Never can say goodbye
Never can say goodbye
No, no, no, no, no, no, no
Never can say goodbye
Never can say goodbye
No, no, no, no, no, no, no
Never can say goodbye
No, no, no, no, no I
Never can say goodbye
Every time I think I've had enough
And start heading for the door
There's very strange vibrations
Piercing me right to the core
It says hang around you fool
You know you love me more and more
Tell me why, tell me why
Is it so, is it so
Never gonna let you go
Never can say goodbye
Never can say goodbye
No, no, no, no, no, no, no
Never can say goodbye
Never can say goodbye
No, no, no, no, no, no, no
Never can say goodbye
Never can say goodbye
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
