Testo Can't Cross Over - Miriam Makeba
Testo della canzone Can't Cross Over (Miriam Makeba), tratta dall'album Mama Africa
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 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
I can't cross over
Why-o, why-o, why-o
I can't cross over
A sailor come by
And he give me the eye
So I started to cry
'Cause I couldn't cross over
Then he stole a kiss
Somehow, I couldn't resist
Just think what I'd a missed
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 (come down)
River come down
I can't cross over
Why-o, why-o, why-o
I can't cross over
Now me mommy got mad
But I'm feeling awful glad
For I met a charming man
'Cause I couldn't cross over
I had a curiosity
Now I got a family
Dangle babies 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 her away from water
She'll do things she hadn't ought 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 the water
Why-o, why-o, why-o
I can't cross over
