CROSSING JORDAN Sung by: W.P. Detherow Recorded in Batesville, AR, 6/25/52 Click here to listen to the original recording To have to go to hell for a-throwing them cards, And I'm bound to cross Jordan in that morning. Chorus: Crossing Jordan, great Jehovah, And yes, my Lord, I'm bound to cross Jordan in that morning. Oh, Lord, boys, you'd better pray twice To have to go to hell for throwing them dice, And I'm bound to cross Jordan in that morning. (Chorus) Who's that yonder, dressed in bright? It looks like an angel a-walking by night, And I'm bound to cross Jordan in that morning. (Chorus) Who's that yonder, dressed in blue? It looks like a mourner, just come through, And I'm bound to cross Jordan in that morning. (Chorus) Who's that yonder, dressed in black? It looks like a mourner just turned back, And I'm bound to cross Jordan in that morning. (Chorus) |
