Ain't is an informal contraction that is used in place of am not, are not, is not, has not, and have not. While ain't was commonly used in 18th century English, today it is not considered standard English and should be avoided in formal writing. The song lyrics provided celebrate a love that can overcome any obstacles, with the refrain emphasizing that no mountain, valley, or river is large enough to prevent the singer from reaching their loved one.

The use of ain’t was widespread in the 18th century,
typically as a contraction for am not. It is still perfectly
normal in many dialects and informal speech in both Britain
and North America. Today, however, it does not form part of
standard English and should never be used in formal or
written contexts.
