Many rivers to cross But I can't seem to find My way over And wandering I am lost As I travel along The white cliffs of Dover I got many rivers to cross And it's only my will That keeps me alive Well, I've been licked Washed up for years And I only 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 And I guess, I have to cry Many rivers to cross But just where to begin I'm playing for time There've been times I find myself Thinking of committing Some serious crime Yes, I've got many rivers to cross But I can't seem to find My way over Yes, I've got many rivers to cross And it's only my will That keeps me alive Yes, I've got many rivers to cross And I can't seem to find My way over Yes, I've got many rivers to cross
