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 survived because of my pride

CHORUS:

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 have been times I find myself

Thinking of committing some dreadful crime

REPEAT FIRST VERSE

CHORUS

(from The Harder They Come soundtrack, 1972)
