Don Goodwin - One More River to Cross lyrics

[Verse 1] The [?], the bristles, the wide Rio Grand One more river to cross The [?] and the wild through the wild stand One more river to cross I tried to be good for most of my life Never done wrong when I knew what was right Till winter cross over, my heart will be light One more river to cross [Verse 2] I was twelve when I first crossed the Cumberland gap One more river to cross And except for the memories, I never looked back One more river to cross The stake in the sand The crease to [?] The willow, the [?], the San Bernadette I'm tired, but I still got one left in me yet One more river to cross [Verse 3] My one true companion is carrying me One more river to cross And when I cross over, he'll go running free One more river to cross And I'll burn a dance, and the horse will run wild Through endless green [?], till one day it finds And then it will cross over back to my side One more river to cross A river and crossing it back to my side One more river to cross One more river to cross One more river to cross
