Nice interpretation in this track! The guitar is beautiful!

:) So adore your warm voice and vocal phrasings, Pat! Wonderful singing!

If I remember rightly even UB 40 made a cover of it too, and sounds fabulous Pat mate...

Well I must admit I prefer the Country style you done of the song here Pat way better than the Reggae style of the original, and that was a cracking way to cover the song my good freind and a cracking all round job here chap.

Harry Nilsson does a wicked screaming cover of this, but I have to say, I believe this is my new favorite version. Vocals & guitar hit the note. Perfectly.

Love your version of this song …….. great vocals, classy guitar work :)

This is my version of the song "Many rivers to cross", by Jimmy Cliff. Joe Cocker has also made a cover of it on the album "Sheffield Steel".

 Many Rivers To Cross

Many rivers to cross
But I can't seem to find my way over
Wandering I am lost
As I travel along the white cliffs of dover

Many rivers to cross
And it's only my will that keeps me alive
I've been licked, washed up for years
And I merely survive because of my pride

And this loneliness won't leave me alone
It's such a drag to be on your own
My woman left me and she didn't say why
Well, I guess I'll have to cry

Many rivers to cross

But just where to begin I'm playing for time
There have been times I find myself
Thinking of committing some dreadful crime

Yes, I've got many rivers to cross
But I can't seem to find my way over
Wandering, I am lost
As I travel along the white cliffs of Dover

Yes, I've got many rivers to cross
And I merely survive because of my will...

Many Rivers To Cross (Jimmy Cliff/Joe Cocker cover)

I'm a singer/songwriter from Stockholm, Sweden.
The guitar is my main instrument. 
But I enjoy to have fun with other instruments too.
My songs are organic and mostly acoustic based.
I guess they could be described as a blend of folk, country, blues and world music.
And I haven't written my best song yet. That's what keeps me going.
