Many Rivers to Cross - Elvin Bishop, John Nemeth

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 me and she didn’t say why

Well, I guess I’ll have to cry

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

Yes, 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

Yes, I’ve got many rivers to cross

And I merely survive because of my will
