jessie matthews - 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 jewel 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
