I'LL CROSS OVER JORDAN SOME DAY (Mark Newton Band)
By: Dixie Hall (BMI)
Tom T. Hall (BMI)

VERSE 1: I HAVE CROSSED THE MIGHTY MISSISSIPPI
I LIVED UPON OHIO RIVER SHORES
I HAVE FISHED THE HOLSTON RIVER IN VIRGINIA
THOUGHT I'D SEEN THEM ALL, BUT THERE'S ONE RIVER MORE

CHORUS: I'LL CROSS OVER JORDAN, SOME DAY
I AM SAVED AND MY SINS ARE WASHED AWAY
MANY TEARDROPS I HAVE CRIED
ON THE RIVER OF THIS LIFE
BUT I'LL CROSS OVER JORDAN SOME DAY

VERSE 2: I HAVE FLOATED ON THE APALACHICOLA
AND FOLLOWED ITS JOURNEY TO THE SEA
I HAVE WADED IN THE WINDING CANEY WATERS
AND THE CUMBERLAND THAT FLOWS THRU TENNESSEE

VERSE 3: THE HUDSON, RIO GRANDE AND CHATAHOOCHIE
WIDE OR SMALL, WERE ALL THE SAME TO ME
MANY TIMES I'VE SAILED THE WIDE POTOMAC
I WAS BAPTIZED IN A LITTLE COUNTRY CREEK
