Many Rivers to Cross 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 survived because of my pride
CHORUS:
And this loneliness won't leave me alone
It's such a drag to be on your own
m
My woman left and she didn't say why
C D (n.C.)
Well I guess I have to try
Many rivers to cross
But just where to begin, I'm playing for time
There have been times I find myself
Thinking of committing some dreadful crime
REPEAT FIRST VERSE
(from The Harder They Come soundtrack, 1972)
