Lyrics

Deep River,
my home is over Jordan,
Oh, deep river, lord I want to cross over
into campground

Repeat

Oh, don't you want to go
to that gospel feast
that promised land
where all is peace

Deep River,
my home is over Jordan
oh deep river, lord I want to cross over
into campground.

I want to cross over into campground

unique, vocals are nice but not great. The background band is good

Here's a beautiful cover of the Negro Spiritual Deep River. The instrumentation is beautiful and suits the song well. The vocalist nails the performance with depth of feeling and emotion. Definitely would like to hear more from this artist.
