(Roll on, roll on, roll on, roll)

Oh, roll on mighty old river
To that sweet forever
Let your waves roll gently
Guard your sword intently
Some day we must cross your shore
(So roll on Jordan)

(Roll on old river deep and wide)
(My Home is on the other side)

So when I reach the river gonna pray the Lord to carry me Home
(So roll on Jordan)

Life’s a river that I gotta span
To reach that mansion in the Promised Land
Roll on, Roll on Jordan

(There’s a river rolling deep and wide)
It’s rolling Paradise is on the other side
Yes, Heaven is a-waiting
(When this old life is or’e)
(There we’ll abide)
(Forever I’ll abide)

Well, roll on mighty old river
To that sweet forever
Let your waves roll gently
Guard your sword intently
Some day we must cross your shore
(So roll on Jordan)

(Roll on old river deep and wide)
(My Home is on the other side)

So when I reach the river gonna pray the Lord to carry me Home
(So roll on Jordan)

Life’s a river that I gotta span
To reach that mansion in the Promised Land
Roll on, Roll on Jordan

(Roll on, roll on, roll on, roll on, roll on, roll on)
