Chorus: I am bound for the promised land,
I am bound for the promised land.
Oh, who will come and go with me?
I am bound for the promised land.

On Jordan’s rocky banks I stand
And cast a wishful eye
To Canaan's fair and happy land
Where my possessions lie.

(Chorus)

If you get there before I do,
I am bound for the promised land,
Look out for me, I am coming, too,
I am bound for the promised land.

(Chorus)

(Chorus, more softly)
