The Shores of Jordan-Iris DeMent

[00:08.46]Well I looked up into heaven I thought I'd solve life's mysteries [00:13.59]I observed the constellations for a clue to my destiny [00:20.03] [00:20.90]But the rhyme of life confounds me things will be as things will be [00:26.42]So I'll just dance the shores of Jordan til the angels carry me [00:32.73] [00:33.61]I'm gonna let my feet go dancing to my very favourite songs [00:39.24]Cause I know my time for leaving is bound to come before too long [00:44.49]And there ain't no way of me knowing how tomorrow's gonna be [00:51.74]So I just dance the shores of Jordan til the angels carry me [00:56.74] [00:59.50]And I traveled to a prison I saw my share of shattered dreams [01:04.69]Were the tables slightly tilted I could be bound they could be free [01:10.00] [01:11.63]But I believe no tear goes wasted and so I fell there on my knees [01:17.44]Vowed I'd dance the shores of Jordan til the angels carried me [01:23.19] [01:25.00]I'm gonna let my feet go dancing to my very favourite songs [01:30.44]Cause I know my time for leaving is bound to come fore too long [01:36.00] [01:37.88]And there ain't no way of me knowing how tomorrow's gonna be [01:43.31]So I just dance the shores of Jordan til the angels carry me [01:49.06] [02:04.64]An' I saw a weary traveller heading down a dusty road [02:09.39]And I said Friend please may I help you it seems you haul a heavy load [02:15.89] [02:16.52]But he said Though my burden's heavy in my heart I'm travelling light [02:22.14]So I can cross old river Jordan when I'm called to the other side [02:28.20] [02:29.77]I'm gonna let my feet go dancing to my very favourite songs [02:35.27]Cause I know my time for leaving is bound to come before too long [02:41.52] [02:42.27]Oh and there ain't no way of me knowing how tomorrow's gonna be [02:48.08]So I just dance the shores of Jordan til the angels carry me [02:54.02] [02:55.46]I just dance the shores of Jordan til the angels carry me [03:05.39]I know they'll carry me
