Don T Cross The River 1972 lyrics

There`s a little girl out lyin` on her own
She`s got a broken heart
She`s not the kind to take you down for long
She knows and plays it smart

And if she`s comin` she`s shown no mark
She`s heard no whistle blowin` from the dark
She feels like leavin` and she don`t know why
Without no bridges she`s trapped, so I sigh

Don`t cross the river if you can`t swim the tide
Don`t try denyin` livin` on the other side
All your life you were on your own

And if you want you can ride my train
And soon forget the reason that you`re leavin`
You`ll lose yourself and then some time
Maybe even save yourself some grievin`

Don`t cross the river if you can`t swim the tide
Don`t try denying livin` on the other side
All your life you were on your own
