THE ORIGINAL ANIMALS lyrics - Many Rivers To Cross

(Jimmy Cliff)



Many rivers to cross

But I can't seem to find my way over

Wandering I'm 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 ripped, 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 women left me but she wouldn't say why

Guess I'll just break right down and 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 terrible crime



Still this loneliness won't leave me alone

It's such a drag to be on your own

My girl left me but she wouldn't say why

Guess I'll just break right down and cry



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 ripped, washed up for years

And I merely survive because of my pride
