The *****man Family - Looking for a Place to Cross

Said, Lay me down upon the cool green moss

My eyes can see that river flowing through the Promised Land.

I’m just looking for a shallow place to cross

I’m just testing out the water; I’m just waiting for the tide

I can see my friends a waving to me from the other side

I can’t understand why you’re so sad; I just can’t see the loss

I’m walking up and down the banks of that Jordan River

Looking for a place to cross!

The old man took his rest with his Bible on his chest

He shivered as he clutched me by the hand

I just stepped into the water, and it chills me to the bone

But the sun is shining on the Promised Land!

Now, when I die, when I bid this world goodbye,

And they come to lower this old body down,

Now don’t you weep, son, don’t you cry for me
