River of Jordan
Louvin Brothers

Intro: A E A A

       A        E           A
To the river of Jordan, our savior went one day 
                          E               A
And we read that John the Baptist met him there 
                       A7       D
And when John baptized Jesus in Jordan's rushing waters 
    A               E              A
The mighty power of God filled the air 


CHORUS 1:
               A
Well I'm on my way, (to the River of Jordan) 
                     E
I'm gonna wade right in, (in the rushing waters) 
          A               A7                    D
I'm going down (I'm going down) to the River of Jordan
            A           E          A
And let the cool waters cleanse my soul 


SOLO (OVER CHORUS)


King Naaman was stricken with dreaded leprosy 
And he sent for the man of God to pray 
But Elija said to Naaman, go dip yourself in Jordan 
And let the cool waters wash your spots away 

CHORUS 2:
So he went right down (to the River of Jordan) 
He waded right in (in the rushing waters) 
He dip himself (he dipped himself) in the River of Jordan
And the cool waters made him whole 

The River of Jordan is many miles away 
And this mighty river I may never see 
But I'll find myself an alter in an old fashioned church 
And my River of Jordan that will be 

CHOURS 1:
Well I'm on my way, (to the River of Jordan) 
I'm gonna wade right in, (in the rushing waters) 
I'm going down (I'm going down) to the River of Jordan
And let the cool waters cleanse my soul
