I Stood on Banks of Jordan lyrics

Stood on the banks of Jordan Stood on the banks of Jordan one day To see the ship go sailing over I stood on the banks of Jordan, yes I did Lord To see the ship go bye I stood on the banks of Jordan, thank God To see the ship go sailing over I stood on the banks of Jordan one day my Lord, Lord To see the ship to see the ship of Zion go bye And when I saw it, I said Lord, I got my ticket, please don't leave me down here You took my Father you came back and got my Mother You took everything to me that was so dear And all I can do Is stand there on the banks of Jordan, Mother was going home To see the ship go sailing over I stood there on the banks Jordan, Lord have mercy, I had To see the ship go bye Listen, I know she's waiting and Watching, I told her I be home after while Those was the last words I ever told my Mother, yes sir She close her eyes and went on to glory with a smile and while she did All I could do was, stand there on the banks of Jordan My heart was heavy as I watch the ship To see the ship go sailing over I stood there on the Jordan, Lord knows I did, I had To see the ship go bye Lord, I show got my ticket and it stamp for glory land, I had To see the ship go bye
