Crossin' the river in a big old boat With a dollar bill in my hand Gonna go fishin' in the afternoon Got a simple plan Oh yeah, baby I got to hold on I got to be strong I got to live long And be with you. Lonely nights and lonely days When I'm not with you Learned to trust and I learned to give Found a love that's true Oh yeah, baby I got to hold on I got to be strong I got to live long And be with you Girl it shouldn't be too hard To live with you It's really not complicated Until I get the blues Come on over and sit right down Let me take your hand I got a love gonna fill you up Take you to the promised land Oh yeah, baby, oh yeah I got to hold on I got to be strong I got to live long And be with you Be with you, baby Be with you, baby I got to be with you, babe Be with you, baby, oh alright Lonely nights, lonely days When I'm not with you babe Learned to trust and I learned to give Found a love that's true, babe Oh yeah, baby I got to hold on now Got to be strong now To be with you Be with you, baby Be with you, baby
