The Statesmen - Get Away Jordan lyrics

[Intro] Get away x4 [Chorus] x2 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 [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 (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 victories 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 d**h Tongue glued to the roof my mouth Hands laid folded across the breast Don't have to worry bout the way I left God almighty done told He'd be right there Lift me up on the wings of love Carry my soul to the heaven's above They tell me Jordan's deep and wide But I told my mother I'd see her on the other side [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
