get away jordan - the statesmen lyrics
[intro]
get away
get away
get away
get away
[chorus]
get away (get away jordan)
get away (get away ole chilly jordan)
get away (get away jordan)
i wanna cross over to see my lord
well, get away (get away jordan)
get away (get away ole chilly jordan)
get away, old chilly jordan (get away jordan)
i wanna cross over to see my lord
[verse 1: jake hess]
you know, i promised the lord if he set me free
(yes, i wanna cross over and see my lord)
i’d go until i find what the end might be
(yes, i wanna cross over and see my lord)
one day, one day i was walking along
(yes, i wanna cross over and see my lord)
and you know i heard a voice, but i saw no one
(yes, i wanna cross over and see my lord)
the voice i heard sounded oh so sweet
(yes, i wanna cross over and see my lord)
came down from my head to sole of my feet
(yes, i wanna cross over and see my lord)
[chorus]
get away (get away jordan)
get away (get away ole chilly jordan)
get away, old chilly jordan (get away jordan)
i wanna cross over to see my lord
[verse 2: jake hess]
one of these mornings and it won’t be long
(yes, i wanna cross over and see my lord)
you gonna look for me child, but ill be gone
(yes, i wanna cross over and see my lord)
just a few more risings and the settings of the sun
(yes, i wanna cross over and see my lord)
this old battle’ll be fought and my victory won
(yes, i wanna cross over and see my lord)
and now the friends i used to love so dear
(yes, i wanna cross over and see my lord)
done gone on to glory and left me here
(yes, i wanna cross over and see my lord)
[verse 3: hovie lister]
when my feet get cold, eyes are shut
body done chilled by the hand of death
tongue glued to the roof my mouth
hands laid folded across my breast
don’t have to worry bout the way i left
god almighty done told he’d be right there
lift me up on his wings of love
carry my soul to the heaven’s above
they tell me jordan’s deep and wide
but i promised mother i’d see her on the other side
[chorus]
get away (get away jordan)
oh, get away (get away ole chilly jordan)
get away back, old chilly jordan (get away jordan)
i wanna cross over to see my lord
i said get away (get away jordan)
oh, get away (get away ole chilly jordan)
get away back, old chilly jordan (get away jordan)
i wanna cross over to see my lord
