Lyrics
We break our backs, yeah
For the master's pleasure
Just waitin' for that sweet old by and by
Sayin' "Go Down Moses" at the levee
Until we lay our burden down and die, yeah
But they say there's a new wind, a new wind blowin'
Down by the mighty Mississippi dressed in blue
Shakin' loose these chains that bind me
Until this endless night is finally through
So now, meet me by the River Jordan
I say, knee-deep in a rising tide
We will climb aboard that boat called freedom
And we'll all sail over to the other side
Yes, we will
We'll sail on
Just sail, sail on
Sail on over to the other side
Oh, sail on
Just sail on
Just sail on over to the other side
So meet me at the River Jordan (Come and meet me, River Jordan)
Say, knee-deep in a risin' tide (Rising tide)
Say, we'll climb aboard that boat called freedom (Climb aboard this boat called freedom)
And we'll all sail on over to the other side (Other side)
We'll be singin' Hallelujah (We'll be singing Hallelujah)
When this misery sure 'nough be passed (Sure 'nough passed)
We'll be singin' Hallelujah (We'll be singing Halleuljah)
Hallelujah, we are now free at last (Free at last)
You got to hold on, yes you hold on
When you live in the east of Eden you've got to pray
That you'll find yourself in paradise someday
Ah so, just meet me by the River Jordan (Come and meet me, River Jordan)
I said, knee-deep in a risin' tide (Risin' tide)
We'll climb aboard that boat called freedom (Climb aboard this boat called freedom)
And we'll all sail on over to the other side (Other side)
Yes we will
Yes we will
So just meet me at the River Jordan (Come and meet me, River Jordan)
I said, knee-deep in a risin' tide (Rising tide)
Yes, we'll climb aboard that boat called freedom (Climb aboard this boat called freedom)
And we'll sail right on over to the other side (Other side)
We'll be singin' Hallelujah (We'll be singing Hallelujah)
When that misery sure 'nough be passed (Sure 'nough passed)
We'll be singin' Hallelujah (We'll be singing Halleuljah)
Hallelujah, we are now free at last (Hallelujah, free at last)
You got to hold on (Hold on, hold on)
When you live in the east of Eden you've got to pray
That you'll find yourself in paradise someday
Oh, just meet me at the River Jordan (Come and meet me, River Jordan)
I say, knee-deep in a risin' tide (Rising tide)
Say, we'll climb aboard that boat called freedom (Climb aboard this boat called freedom)
And we'll all sail right on over to the other side, yeah (Other side)
Yes, we will (Hallelujah)
Hallelujah
Hallelujah (Hallelujah)
Hallelujah (Hallelujah)
Made it over (Hallelujah)
Hallelujah (Hallelujah)
We'll be singin' (Hallelujah)
Singin', shoutin' (Hallelujah)
Hallelujah (Hallelujah)
Hallelujah (Hallelujah)
No more tears (Hallelujah)
Hallelujah (Hallelujah)
No more pain (Hallelujah)
Hallelujah (Hallelujah)
Say we're free (Hallelujah)
Free at last (Hallelujah)
Hallelujah (Hallelujah)
