The water is wide
|
I cannot cross over
|
and neither have
|
I wings to fly
|
build me a boat
|
that will carry two
|
and both shall row
|
my love and I
|
There is a ship
|
and she sails the sea
|
she's loaded deep
|
as deep can be
|
but not so deep
|
as the love I'm in
|
I know not how
|
I sink or swim
|
deep river
|
my home is over jordan
|
deep river
|
lord
|
I want to cross over into campground
|
deep river
|
my home is over jordan
|
mmm, deep river, lord
|
I want to cross over into campground
|
oh don't you want to go
|
to that gospel feast
|
that promised land
|
where all is peace
|
for deep river, lord
|
I want to cross over into campground
|
the water is wide
|
I cannot cross over
|
and neither have
|
I wings to fly
|
build me aboat
|
that will carry two
|
and both shall row
|
and both shall row
|
and both shall row
|
my love and I
|
