Went down to see an aching woman in her twilight days And i meant to feed her hope while the guitar played With a shuttered glance she told me We shall meet again On the banks of Jordan's River I went down to see The Jordan River As her words foretold But I'm searching still as the cold wind blows To find The Jordan River And my soul
Now i know that she is watching from long ago And i hold my head up high, see there's always a choice In her sorrow she reminds me that i must go on 'til i find that misty river I went down to see The Jordan River As her words foretold But I'm searching still as the cold wind blows To find the Jordan river And my soul
