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) Also found in Brown, Vol. III, #581. |
