I stood on the river of Jordan

I stood on the river of Jordan
I stood on the river of Jordan
to see that ship come sailing over;
stood on the river of Jordan
to see that ship sail by.

O moaner, don't you weep
when you see that ship come sailing over,
O moaner, don't you weep
when you see that ship sail by.
O sister, you better be ready
to see that ship come sailing over;
brother, you better be ready
to see that ship sail by.
O moaner, don't you weep
when you see that ship come sailing over,
Shout: Glory! Hallelujah!
when you see that ship sail by.
I stood on the river of Jordan.
