Harry Belafonte - Can't Cross Over (river Come Down) Lyrics
The river come downThe river come downRiver come downI can't cross overWhy-o, why-o, why-oI can't cross overI wanted to go downTo the other side of townThere was water all aroundAnd I couldn't cross overWhy-o, why-o, why-oI can't cross overWell a gal she come byAnd I give she the eyeSo she started to sighAnd I couldn't cross overWhy-o, why-o, why-oI can't cross overThe river come downThe river come downRiver come downAnd I couldn't cross overWhy-o, why-o, why-oI can't cross overNow bird he can flyFoggy jump highFishes never dieAnd I couldn't cross overWhy-o, why-o, why-oI can't cross overA well I stole me a kissI couldn't resistJust think what I'd a missIf I could have crossed overWhy-o, why-o, why-oI can't cross overThe river come downThe river come downRiver come downAnd I couldn't cross overWhy-o, why-o, why-oI can't cross overI had a curiosityNow I got a familyBouncing baby on my knee'Cause I couldn't cross overWhy-o, why-o, why-oI can't cross overSo when you see your neighbor daughterBetter run for the waterYou'll do things you hadn't ought toIf you can't cross overWhy-o, why-o, why-oI can't cross overThe river come downThe river come downRiver come downAnd I couldn't cross overWhy-o, why-o, why-oI can't cross over
