Baby dry your eyes
There´s no need to cry
Cause I´ll see you again
It might be a while
Before you understand

I´m just away down the river
A hundred miles or more
Crossing over Jordan
To the other shore
I´ll be standing waiting
With all who´ve gone before
I´m just away down the river
A hundred miles or more

Now the pictures on the wall
Will help you to recall
They´re not there
To make you sad
But to remember
All the good times we had

I´m just away down the river
A hundred miles or more
Crossing over Jordan
To the other shore
I´ll be standing waiting
With all who´ve gone before
I´m just away down the river
A hundred miles or more

When it´s time to leave
You´re gonna feel the mountain breeze
And the snow will fill the stream
And carry you to me

I´m just away down the river
A hundred miles or more
Crossing over Jordan
To the other shore
I´ll be standing waiting
With all who´ve gone before
I´m just away down the river
A hundred miles or more
