Lyrics
Deep river, my home is over Jordan
Deep river, Lord
I want to cross over into camp ground
Deep river, my home is over Jordan
Deep river, Lord
I want to cross over into camp ground
Oh don’t you want to go to that gospel feast
That promis’d land where all is peace?
Oh deep river, Lord
I want to cross over into camp ground
