Cross Me Over- Howard W. Odum, Guy B. Johnson in 1925
Yonder comes er sister all dressed in black,
She look lak er hipercrit jes' got back,
I'm bound ter cross Jord'n in dat mornin'.
CHORUS: Cross me over,
Great Jehover,
My Lord, I'm bound ter cross Jord'n in dat mornin'.
See dat Christian on his knees,
He's gwin'tercross dem jasper seas,
I'm bound ter cross Jord'n in dat mornin'.
Swing low chariot in er line,
Carry me to glory in due time,
I'm bound ter cross Jord'n in dat mornin'.
Ain't but one thing grieve my mind,
Sister, goin' to heaven an' leave me behin',
I'm bound ter cross Jord'n in dat mornin'.
