Cool Down Yonder Songtext
von Marion Williams

Cool down by, down by the banks of Jordan
Cool down by the banks of Jordan
Cool down by, down by the banks, banks of Jordan
Where Jesus gonna meet me there
He′s gonna meet me there

It's so cool down by the chilly Jordan
Cool down by the chilly Jordan
And it′s cool down by chilly Jordan
Where Jesus gonna meet me there
He's gonna meet me there


Well, I stepped in the water up to my knees
I cried, "Lord, have mercy if you please"
I stepped in the water 'round the head
There I′m making up my dying bed

And it′s cool, yeah, it's cool down by the chilly Jordan
Child, it′s cool down by chilly Jordan
Where Jesus gonna meet me there
He's gonna meet me there

Yeah, I said, "Meet me, my Lord, meet me
Meet me in the middle of the air
If these wings should fail me
I′m gonna try me another pair"

And it's cool by the banks of Jordan
Cool down by the banks, the banks of Jordan
Child, it′s cool down there, the banks of Jordan
Where Jesus gonna meet me there
He's gonna meet me there
