Can't Cross Over

Can't Cross Over (West Indian Calypso) - Miriam Makeba (米瑞安·马卡贝)

Composer：Miriam Makeba

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 sideof town

There was water all around

And I couldn't 'cross over

Well a gal she come by

And I give she the eye

So she started to sigh

And 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

Well a gal she come by

And I give she the eye

So she started to sigh

And I couldn't 'cross over

A well I stole me a kiss

I couldn't 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

And I couldn't 'cross over

Why o why o why o

I can't 'cross over

Now bird he can fly

Foggy jump high

Fishes never die

And I couldn't 'cross over

I had a curiosity

Now I got a family

Bouncing 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 doll a kepper

Way from the water ship

She do think she not you to

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

And I couldn't 'cross over

Why o why o why o

I can't 'cross over
