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 it's only my will that keeps me alive   'Cause 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   'Cause my man left me and he didn't say why   So I guess I'll have to cry      I've got many rivers to cross   But just where to begin, I'm playing for time   'Cause there've been times I find myself   Thinking of committing, a dreadful crime      And this loneliness won't leave me alone   It's such a drag to be on your own   My man left me and he didn't say why   So I guess I'll have to cry      I've got many rivers to cross   But just where to begin', I'm playing for time   But I've been licked and washed up for years   And I merely survive because of my pride   Many rivers to, oh, cross
