Get Away Jordan - Original Mono - Mahalia Jackson

Get away, Jordan

Get away, Jordan

Get away, Jordan

There’s one more river to cross

And that’s the stream that flows

Through Bethlehem called the river Jordan

Don’t you want to, God Almighty?

O my Lord

Get away, Jordan

Get away, Jordan

Get away, Jordan

I want to cross over to see my Lord

One of these mornings bright and fair

I want to cross over to see my Lord

Going to take my wings and fly the air

I want to cross over to see my Lord
