Many rivers to cross

Jimmy Cliff

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 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`ll be times I find myself thinking

Of committing some dreadful crime.

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

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.
