Animals, The - Many Rivers To Cross Lyrics






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 man he left me but he wouldn'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'll be times I find myself
Thinking of committing
Some dreadful crime.

And this loneliness won't leave me alone
It's such a drag to be on your own
My man he left me but he wouldn't say why
Well I guess, I have to try, yeah yeah

Rivers, rivers to cross
Yeah yeah
Rivers to cross

  36. J.... T....

    Some of you are nuts!!! Jimmy Cliff, always the best...not even a question!!

  37. t.... ....

    So sad! Really moving. I put this in my Animals playlist. I put the Cliff original in my "Animals..covers" playlist. Thanks for uploading!

  38. S.... C....

    Best version I have ever heard of this song.  When I bought the album I played it over and over.

    S.... C....

    I still have the album

    S.... C....

    The best in this world.

  39. R.... P....

    Bravo Burdon.

  40. R.... L....

    Eric Burdon is a god of song...just listen to this and tell me I am wrong ??

    R.... L....

    Rob Lawing --No Rob yuor not I'm just sorry I read this 2years later, but no one has ever come close to him and and probably won't in my life time & I plan on being around for a long time rock on Eric love ya

    R.... L....

    Rob Lawing

    R.... L....

    You are so right Sylvia

  41. M.... S....

    These guys are the best band ever. No one can beat The Animals. This version of this song is the best. Alan's amazing organ playing, Eric's beautiful singing voice, Hilton's awesome guitar playing, John's outstanding drumming, and Chas' wonderful bass guitar playing prove to others that they are the best band ever that I adore and love.

    M.... S....

    I have heard many versions of this song and I agree this is the definitive version.

    M.... S....

    @Megan S. Don;t necessarily agree to 'the best' as I have an appreciation of different interpretations. But do appreciate this rendition.

  42. M.... r....

    Cool,,,,, (Y)

  43. S.... B....

    What did Ray Charles say about Eric Burdon??????

    S.... B....

    There isn't any information...

  44. S.... B....

    It's Eric Burdon, what more is there to say!! Also the Animals:)<3

  45. C.... F....

    Still Amazing!

  46. i.... ....

    Wow, never even knew this existed. One of the best versions of this song.

  47. B.... M....

    eric is the man for the blues

  48. B.... J....

    I played the crap out of this record.  Glad to find it here.

  49. g.... r....

    Beautiful

  50. M.... O....

    YES !!!!!! One of the GREATEST recordings EVER !!!!!! ... and it still brings me so much down onto my knees, while drowning into this song and words ... and I like it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  51. M.... O....

    I NEVER find words for this wonderous song and singing by Eric !!!!!! ... I just listen ... and fly

  52. r.... ....

    truly great,unbeatable music and lryics

  53. G.... P....

    Wow....This is so incredible. So powerful, gripping...

  54. D.... G....

    This is my mothers favourite song and has become one of my all-time-favourites too. Coming from a family of uneducated workers with all kind of problems, the lyrics of this song has always gripped me by the heart. I really have to thank my mother for where I am today and the fact that she put herself last and always all of her 8 kids first still humbles me to this date. I owe my work ethics, my moral compass and my sense of justice to her - amongst many other things - and for that I thank her!

  55. A.... C....

    The best voice of the sixties. ( and seventies, eighties...)
    Antonio Carlos - Santos - Brazil

  56. E.... G....

    different, more gospel, i can't say is bad but i don't like this style, sorry

  57. E.... G....

    @redsfanstu disagree about jimmy and joe cocker is not near to this

    my best versions jimmy's and this

  58. F.... P....

    Fantastico...A voz do Eric é perfeita!
    Abraço a todos

  59. E.... ....

    Simply beautiful, as for the 2 dislikers, well words fail me.

  60. M.... ....

    What a great,strong,emmotional voice..

  61. R.... L....

    Anyone know where to find this album ? Amazon and Itunes don't seem to have it

  62. R.... L....

    Burdon has to be one of the most underrated singers of all time...what a fantastic voice

  63. L.... S....

    Oops.. Please forgive.. but do love. Three of his songs are at the beginning of my play list, so I do enjoy him about daily. :) Keyboard isn't working well just now, or I'd tell you a bird story. Please ask me if you're interested. Tied to his version of "Ring of Fire." I think I've spelled it wrong for a long long time.

  64. L.... S....

    This is interesting. It makes me think of Melanie Safka.. They both belt out any song how their mood brings it out. Like me. Only problem, nobody wants to listen to me! Sometimes I think I don't really like a song, then find I like it just because of the emotion coming from the gut! Like this. I love Eric Burden!!

  65. z.... ....

    One of the greatest recordings of all time; and of course- one of the greatest vocalists ever. thanx for the Post.
