This Be My Jordan (Cover of Teddy/Teodoro’s 'Swamp Scratch')

[Verse] Down in the delta where the cypress grow tall Now the water's dark as my slid-back soul Used to hear Jesus every time mama'd call Now wanderin’ this wilderness, Lord, take control [Verse] Preacher said the river wash my sins away My Bible's water-stained, can't read no words I'm neck-deep in mud from the break of day Jus’ hidden voice hissing ‘ere the devil been heard [Verse] Oh Lord, I'm lost in the lowland Can't tell baptism from the drowning no more Reaching up with jus’ these trembling hands Black water like these ain't no Jordan's shore [Verse] Mama pray for me each Sunday dawn Spanish moss hangin' here like Judas' rope Now her voice be fadin’ n’ her boy’s long gone Searchin’ the bottom for any glimpse of hope [Bridge] I hear the Good Book say He'll make a way The saints be singin’ far up, high ‘bove But I be’n wading through this night and day While I'm down here beggin' for Jesus’ love [Verse] So when that Gabriel horn finally blow Could these swamp chains finally break free? Will He find me down here where dark water flow? And carry this prod’gal son back up to Thee?
