Bobby Womack - Deep River Lyrics






Deep river, my home is over Jordan
Deep river, you know I got long to stay here
You know I got long to stay here
My calling down the thunder
From this land just wait for me
Just wait, swimming the ocean

I make it love for you baby
Deep river, oh, I over drown
Deep river, I want to cross over into camp-ground.
You want I want to cross over into camp-ground.

  6. d.... s....

    ok, honestly, his guitar playing in this performance sounds really bad. i believe he was suffering from dementia by this time and it was affecting his playing.

  7. b.... s....

    Used to be one of his tricks,---he could play right handed guitar upside down without reversing the strings

    b.... s....

    b smith just like Elizabeth Cotten!

  8. M.... ....

    One of the most beautiful privileges the internet grants us, aside from the knowledge that we all can access at ease with no price tag attached, is that we can always revisit those who created art like this years after they're gone. 

    M.... ....

    cheers mate

  9. P.... W....

    Song in the middle is "You were made for me" by Sam Cooke... Been trying to catch it for months

  10. A.... ....

    I love Bobby and deep river-watching this i was thinking about my next door neighbor -if i done thisiin my front room he would be on the phone for the noise pollution police-and that about sums up the way people are today-too few have got a soul like Bobby had

  24. j.... b....

    beautiful

  25. m.... ....

    Dang that cuts deep... I do kind of agree with you though, this album isn't soul, it's some kind of European influenced stuff. I like his soul stuff better but I guess he can do whatever he wants.

  26. m.... ....

    Get outta here white person acting like you aren't white. If you aren't you sure seem like you are.

  27. J.... H....

    Bobby Womack's voice gets more perfect as he ages.

  28. W.... U....

    He sounds like old granny. LOL

  29. W.... U....

    Ive been listning to white bobby womack before your white self even thought of him. I have all his albums from the 70s and i know how he use to sound. Hes old now and his voice has deteriorated over th yrs probably from drug use or just old age. I know that doing this album is something hes never done becaue its so white and queer(weird) sounding and its more of a european influence,understsnd? Bobby Womack was and is a soul singer not this shit bravest man in the universe.

  30. J.... W....

    Listen, you try to perform on the road for 60 years in smoked filled venues and see if you sound the same. He has been resting for 12 years....GOD gave him back to us and we should be jumping for joy that he even knows which end of the microphone to sing in. I am his "smile checker" and anyone who doesn't keep him lifted up with kind words, is going to hear from me.

  31. J.... W....

    Bobby Womack is an ARTIST and he has never followed others. That is why he is so unique. Yellow hair, green hair.......shouldn't matter to you.......and one thing that Bobby Womack is not is A SELL OUT. That is why he has always had to fight because he is a man who knows what he wants and will not compromise. I would have loved it if he had the "Skittles" on each of his nails. HE IS A MAN WHO IS COMFORTABLE IN HIS OWN SKIN, and all I can say to him is....WHAT A MAN...WHAT A MAN!!!!!

  32. J.... W....

    This man has been on the road for 60 years......singing in smoke filled places.....now, he has been diagnosed with Alzheimers.....and still made an album and knocked it out of the park. I am sure that he is aware that his voice has changed....but did he stop singing because of it.......NOOOOOOOOO. GOD has gifted him back to us once again and I don't care if he sounds like a bull frog......I still hear the music and I give thanks to GOD everyday because Bobby chose to sooth our hearts once more.

  33. J.... W....

    Is this supposed to be a compliment?

  34. j.... m....

    those shoes are sick

  35. j.... w....

    Hello Mr. R.D.W., where is you hat/cap store? You don't have one??? You not only wear all types of head gear, you make them look like the "must haves". This could be another in your wallet. No matter long you go between recordings, I already know that it is going to be "sweeter than honey in a honey comb and incredibly sensuous". That's just how God made you and I am glad that you know this. Until GOD gives you your "two wings", stay true to your calling. Bye ANGELS KISSES.

  36. A.... S....

    this is how i want to grow old

  37. J.... S....

    hi!!! i'm just trying to make a cover of this wonderful song.
    i can't reconize the chords, his playing like a left-handed without changing the strings.
    if anyone knows the tabs or a link
    Thanks Mr WOMACK

  38. R.... ....

    I think it's just gray + the lighting.

  39. R.... ....

    Kinda like what he did with the Poet albums?

  40. h.... ....

    you mean those "happy songs"? :)

  41. d.... ....

    the album had a couple of missteps but i feel overall did really well in presenting Bobby and his performance was excellent. this video is great aswell, very moving

  42. J.... C....

    Those Tide shoes are fly too where can i find some? lol real talk though

  43. J.... C....

    The whole album should be just him and guitar. Titled Soul man living legend unplugged

  44. s.... ....

    I added this to my favorites approximately 30 seconds into seeing it for the first time

  45. L.... S....

    OMG MR WOMACK HAIR IS BLONDE! CAN ANYONE REACH HIM BECAUSE I WOULD LOVE TO MEET HIM!!! HE IS THE REASON WHY I WANTED TO BE A SOUL ARTIST I LOVE HIS MUSIC!!!

  46. P.... S....

    I cant wait to see you and Ron Isley at Chene Park July 21st in Detroit!!!

  47. c.... ....

  57. W.... U....

    i love bobby womack but why he paint his nails black and dye his hair light gold.? dont sell out bobby

  58. S.... G....

    Why?? Just because they don't like it??? I think its good but people shouldn't have to like it just because he had cancer.
