Baby dry your eyes

There's no need to cry

Cause I'll see you again

It might be a while

Before you understand



[Chorus:]

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



[Chorus]



[Instrumental]



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



[Chorus]
