Lyrics
(American folk song)
1. I’m ridin’ on that new river train,
I’m ridin’ on that new river train,
The same old train that brought me here
gonna carry me back again.
2. Oh darlin’, you can’t love one (repeat)
You can’t love one and have any fun,
Oh darlin’, you can’t love one.
3. Oh darlin’, you can’t love two (repeat)
You can’t love two and your little heart be true…
4. …three…
You can’t love three and still love me…
5. …four…
You can’t love four and love me anymore…
6. …five…
You can’t love five and still stay alive…
7. …six…
You can’t love six ’cause six and love don’t mix…
8. …seven…
You can’t love seven and expect to go to heaven…
