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 gotta try

Many rivers to cross 
But just where to begin, I'm playing for time
There'll be times when 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

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 gotta try

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

I've got many, many rivers to cross
Wandering I am lost 
Many rivers to cross
