First Bend In The River Lyrics - Marty Robbins

Past the first bend in the river 

Is another bend I can't see 

And the bend that keeps calling 

Is the bend that keeps hiding from me 

Past the first hill on the desert 

Is another hill I can't see 

And the hill that keeps hiding 

Is the hill that keeps calling to me 

In the cottonwood by the river 

A morning dove calls his mate 

He has true love to give her 

But love for me must wait 

Till I've travelled every river 

And each desert hill I have climbed 

If I find love to my liking 

I'll leave the river's bend far behind
