lyrics

Many ways to cross the river only one way to drown
Many ways to cross the river only one way to drown
Been standing by the river ever since my sweet baby left town

She said that she’d love me, She’d always be true
Now I’m standing by the river wonderin’ what I should do
Many ways to cross the river only one way to drown
Been standing by the river ever since my sweet baby left town

She said she’d never leave me for another man
Now I’m standing by the river with a gun in my hand
Many ways to cross the river only one way to drown
Been standing by the river ever since my sweet baby left town

I think of the things we used to do
I can’t stand the thought of him lovin’ you
Many ways to cross the river only one way to drown
Been standing by the river ever since my sweet baby left town

The thought of my baby with another man
Is drivin’ me crazy its more than I can stand
Many ways to cross the river only one way to drown
Been standing by the river ever since my sweet baby left town

about

Dan Sullivan Kalamazoo, Michigan

Some people like gardening, working on cars or woodworking. Others enjoy knitting, collecting stamps or coins. That kind of thing. I like writing songs.
