Can’t Cross Over
The river come down
The river come down
River come down
I can't cross over
Why-o, why-o, why-o
I can't cross over
I wanted to go down
To the other side of town
There was water all around
And I couldn't cross over
Now bird he can fly
Froggy jump on high
Fishes never die
But I couldn't cross over
Why-o, why-o, why-o
I can't cross over
The river come down
The river come down
River come down
And I couldn't cross over
Why-o, why-o, why-o
I can't cross over
A sailor came by
And he gave me the eye
So I started to cry
'Cause I couldn't cross over
I stole a kiss
So I could not resist
Just think what I'd a-miss
If I could have crossed over
Why-o, why-o, why-o
I can't cross over
The river come down
The river come down
River come down
I can't cross over
Why-o, why-o, why-o
I can't cross over
Now me mummy got mad
For the feeling of a plan
For a never chummy land
'Cause I couldn't cross over
I had a curiosity
Now I got a family
Dangle baby on my knee
'Cause I couldn't cross over
Why-o, why-o, why-o
I can't cross over
So if you have a daughter
Keep away from the water
She'll do things she ought not to
If she can't cross over
Why-o, why-o, why-o
I can't cross over
The river come down
The river come down
River come down
I can't cross over
Why-o, why-o, why-o
I can't cross over
The river come down
River come down
I can't cross over
Why-o, why-o, why-o
I can't cross over
I wanted to go down
To the other side of town
There was water all around
And I couldn't cross over
Now bird he can fly
Froggy jump on high
Fishes never die
But I couldn't cross over
Why-o, why-o, why-o
I can't cross over
The river come down
The river come down
River come down
And I couldn't cross over
Why-o, why-o, why-o
I can't cross over
A sailor came by
And he gave me the eye
So I started to cry
'Cause I couldn't cross over
I stole a kiss
So I could not resist
Just think what I'd a-miss
If I could have crossed over
Why-o, why-o, why-o
I can't cross over
The river come down
The river come down
River come down
I can't cross over
Why-o, why-o, why-o
I can't cross over
Now me mummy got mad
For the feeling of a plan
For a never chummy land
'Cause I couldn't cross over
I had a curiosity
Now I got a family
Dangle baby on my knee
'Cause I couldn't cross over
Why-o, why-o, why-o
I can't cross over
So if you have a daughter
Keep away from the water
She'll do things she ought not to
If she can't cross over
Why-o, why-o, why-o
I can't cross over
The river come down
The river come down
River come down
I can't cross over
Why-o, why-o, why-o
I can't cross over
