| lyric | Get away old chilly Jordan,
I want to cross over Well.
1. I promised the Lord if He’d set me free,
Yes, I want to cross over to see my Lord.
One day, one day I was walkin’ along,
Yes, I want to cross over to see my Lord.
I know that I heard a voice but I saw no one.
Yes, I want to cross over to see my Lord.
The voice I heard sounded, oh, so sweet,
Yes, I want to cross over to see my Lord.
Came down from ym head to thesole of my feet.
Yes, I want to cross over to see my Lord.
2. one of these mornin’s and it won’t be long,
Yes, I want to cross over to see my Lord.
you’re look for me, child, and I’ll be gone.
Yes, I want to cross over to see my Lord.
Just a few more risings and settings of the sun.
Yes, I want to cross over to see my Lord.
All my battles wil be fough and my vict’ries won.
Yes, I want to cross over to see my Lord.
All the friends that I used to love so dear,
Yes, I want to cross over to see my Lord.
Well, now they’ve gone on to glory and left me here.
Yes, I want to cross over to see my Lord.
When my feet get cold, eyes are shut,
body bee chilled my the hand of death.
tongue glued to the roof of my moouth,
hands lay folded across my breast,
Don’t have to worry ’bout the way I fair,
God Almighty done tolt me that He’d right there
to lift me up on His wings of love,
carry ma soul to the heavens up above,
Tell me Jordan’s, deep and wide,
But I promised mother I’d meet her on the other side,
So get away, Jordan!
Get away, oh, chilly Jordan,
Get away back, oh chilly Jordan,
I want to corss over to see my Lord. |
