"Many Rivers To Cross" lyrics

"Many Rivers To Cross"
(originally by Jimmy Cliff)

Many rivers to cross
And I can't seem to find my way over
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
I've been licked, washed up for years
And I merely survive because of my pride

Oh 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 been times I find myself
Thinking of committing some dreadful crime

Yeah, 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
