In my time of dying, I don't want no weeping or crying
I don't want nobody crying over me.
I've had good times and I've had the bad
I'm just grateful for the time I've had
I don't want nobody crying over me
I've had love and lost it too
Best love I had was the one with you
I don't want nobody sad & lonely when I'm gone
I've been here for a long time so
I've had a good life now it's time for me to go
This how I want my people to remember me

Sing a song, say a prayer
Pretty soon yea I'm gonna be there
I'll be crossing over River Jordan
You can meet me on the other side
If you have to cry, then cry for me tears of joy
Because now I'm free
Yea I'll be crossing over the river Jordan
You can meet me on the other side

When everything is said and done
I'll be gone as fast as the setting sun
I don't want nobody crying over me
By the time you've heard that I have died
I'll be with the Lord on the other side
On the other side of River Jordan that's where I'll be
Please bury me not in the old bone yard
The grounds too cold and way too hard
I don't want nobody throwing dirt down on me
When everyone's made their peace with me
Scatter my ashes in the deep blue sea
This how I want my people to remember me

Sing a song, say a prayer
Pretty soon yea I'm gonna be there
I'll be crossing over River Jordan
You can meet me on the other side
If you have to cry, then cry for me tears of joy
Because now I'm free
I'll be crossing over the river Jordan
You can meet me on the other side

Don't keep me hanging on
When I should've been dead and gone
Don't keep me hanging on and on
On and on and on.
I'll be drowning on dry land
Help me move along to the Promised Land

Yea I want to move along to the Promised Land
On my way over River Jordan
Yea you can meet me on the other side
On my way to the promised land
If you have to cry, then cry for me
Tears of joy because now I'm free
Free at last, free at last
Thank god almighty I'm free at last
