Walk Together Children
Black American Spirituals
By Ashley Bryan
Deep River
Deep river, My Home is Over Jordan
Deep river, Lord, I want to cross over into campground
Oh, Don’t you want to go
To that gospel feast
That promised land —where all is peace?
Walk Together Children
Oh, Walk together children,
Don’t you get weary,
Walk together children,
Don’t you get weary,
Walk together children,
Don’t you get weary,
There’s a great camp meeting in the Promised Land.
Going to mourn and never tire,
Mourn and never tire,
Mourn and never tire,
There’s a great camp meeting in the Promised Land.
O, Sing together children,
Don’t get weary,
Sing together children,
Don’t get weary,
Sing together children,
Don’t get weary,
There’s a great camp meeting in the Promised Land.
Going to mourn and never tire,
Mourn and never tire,
Mourn and never tire,
There’s a great camp meeting in the Promised Land.
(1974)
