This was an early cover/remake of Ike and Tina Turners original ¨River Deep Mountain High¨ made just over a year before in 1966. Apparently, Long John Baldry fell in love with this song and the second he heard this song and had to put his own spin on it as soon as he could!
When you were a little girl
You had a rag doll
The only doll that you've ever owned
Now you love me just the way you loved that rag doll
And only now my love has grown
And it gets higher babe, in every way
And it gets deeper babe, just let me say
And it gets stronger babe, day by day
Do I love you my oh my
River deep and a mountain high, yeah, yeah, yeah
If I lost you would I cry
I would, baby, baby, baby
When you were a little girl
You had a puppy
That always followed you around
Well I'm gonna be as faithful as that puppy
And no, I'll never let you down
Cause it goes on and on, like a river flows
And it gets higher baby, as my love grows
And it gets stronger baby, well I told you so
Do I love you my oh my
River deep and a mountain high, yeah, yeah, yeah
If I lost you would I cry
I would, baby, baby, baby
I love you, baby, like the flowers, loves the spring
And I love you baby, like a Robin, loves to sing
And I love you, baby like a schoolboy loves his prank
And I love you baby, river deep and mountain high
I said a baby
Oh my baby
You know I love ya
I said I love ya
Do I love you my oh my
River deep and a mountain high, yeah, yeah, yeah
Even if I should lose ya, would I cry
I would, baby, baby, baby
