Текст песни Get Away Jordan - Mahalia Jackson

Oh, get away, Jordan, get away, oh my Jordan
Get away, Jordan, got to cross over to see my Lord
Well, get away, Jordan, get away, oh my Jordan
Get away, Jordan, got to cross over to see my Lord

Well, you see those children all dressed in white
I got to cross over to see my Lord
Well, they must be the children of the Israelites
Got to cross over to see my Lord

Well, get away, Jordan, get away, oh my Jordan
Get away, Jordan, got to cross over to see my Lord, well

My God got angry on the throne
The angels in the heaven begin to moan
They drooped their wings, they barely fit
Crying, "Lord have mercy on you, my red"
You know the day got dark, the moon turned to blood
God clapped his hands, there came a mighty flood

Oh, get away, Jordan, get away, oh my Jordan
Get away, Jordan, got to cross over to see my Lord, well

If I die in the water, some folks say I'm lost
But Jesus promised at the gates of Heaven
To see me safely across, well, I sing

Get away, Jordan, get away, oh my Jordan
Get away, Jordan, I got to cross over to see my Lord
