Lyrics :
Many rivers to cross
But I can't seem to find my way over
Wandering I'm 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 ripped, 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 girl left me but she wouldn't say why
Guess I'll just break right down and cry
Many rivers to cross
But just where to begin
I'm playing for time
There've been times I find myself
Thinking of committing some terrible crime
Guitar Solo :
Still this loneliness won't leave me alone
It's such a drag to be on your own
My women left me but she wouldn't say why
Guess I'll just break right down and cry
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

Rip Joe amazing singer

[@ronaldthwaites177]

Without doubt the best concert I have ever seen. Joe was absolutely brilliant. His band and backup singers made it perfect.

[@barryjansen7057]

I caught this tour at The Shepherds Bush Empire in London. For me also best ever concert from anyone - and I saw Joe many times from the early 1970's.

Salute mr joe

[@Regenlicht]

Joe darf das. Jimmy würde es mögen.

[@monicacarmonacorpus1757]

One # 1

[@charlesholland4239]

So many good versions. Sia, Cher, Oleta Adams, Jimmy Cliff and now Joe. Don't think anyone has done a bad version of this song

[@RVZNKaraoke]

check out Lissie....not a fan of Sia's, though. It's oversung and loses the purity of emotion.

[@dulceisaac4656]

If you’re not ready to cross don’t do it

[@ronaldthwaites177]

Yeah mate. I'm still here. And at times I have considered that terrible crime.

[@maxdecimoable]

nessuno che gli ha dato una camicia di ricambio? Poverino! ;-))

ハロー！ジョー
待たせなー
そうか、また俺と組みてーか！

こんなところでくたばってたまるか

大丈夫か歩け、立て、歩けけほら
日本帰えるんだよ、日本帰って また俺と
でっかい夢みよーぜ！！
