Arthur Johnston - My River lyrics

(Verse) We're just a lot of helpless human creatures All of us The big and small of us We search for happiness and all its features All the things Contentment brings When days are dark, we need a guiding hand From one we know will always understand (Chorus) I've got my troubles, the same as you But I've got my river to carry me through I'm just a dreamer, the same as you But I've got my river to carry me through The skies may rock, the rain may fall The wolf at the door may frown But I can depend on my friend the river 'Cause he never lets me down I've got my troubles, the same as you I've got no bank full But still I'm thankful That I've got my river to carry me through Some may come swanning Down where the cotton grows Some have to bear a load so heavy Out where the water flows Folks travel to the Ganges One million every day That's where they look for new religion As they wash their sins away Then there's the Shannon, so lovely to see Like a j**el that shines in a crown But the only river that matters to me Flows under London Bridge to London Town I've got my troubles, the same as you I've got my river, and I'm thankful I've got my river to carry me through
