Many Rivers To Cross

Jimmy Cliff

Lyrics

Many rivers to cross

But I can't seem to find my way over

Wandering I am lost

As I travel along the white cliffs of Dover

Many rivers to cross

And it's only my will that keeps me alive

I've been licked, washed up for years

And I merely survive because of my pride

And this loneliness won't leave me alone

It's such a drag to be on your own

My woman left me and she didn't say why

Well I guess, I have to try

Many rivers to cross

But just where to begin, I'm playing for time

There are times I find myself

Thinking of committing some dreadful crime

Yes, I've got many rivers to cross

But I can't seem to find my way over

Wandering I am lost

As I travel along the white cliffs of Dover
