Yonder come er sister all dressed in black,
She look lak er hipercrit jes' got back,
I'm boun' ter cross Jord'n in dat mornin'.
CHORUS: Cross me over,
Great Jehover,
My Lord, I'm boun' ter cross Jord'n in dat mornin'.
See dat Christian on his knees,
He's gwin' ter cross dem jasper seas,
I 'm boun' ter cross Jorden in dat mornin'
Swing low chariots in er line,
Carry me ter glory in due time,
I'm boun' ter cross Jord'n in dat mornin'.
Ain't but the one thing grieve my min'
Sister goin' to heaven an' leave me behin',
I'm boun' ter cross Jord'n in dat mornin'.
