One More River To Cross

Oh [G]there’s one [C]more [G]river, and [D7]that’s the river [G]Jordan,

There’s one [C]more [G]river, there’s [D7]one more river to [G]cross.

The animals cane one by one, there’s [D7]one more river to [G]cross,

The elephant chewing a caraway bun, there’s [D7]one more river to [G]cross.

The animals came two by two, there’s one more river to cross,
The crocodile and the kangaroo, there’s one more river to cross.

The animals came three by three, there’s one more river to cross,
The tall giraffe and the tiny flea, there’s one more river to cross.

The animals cane four by four, there’s one more river to cross,
The hippos, they got stuck in the door, there’s one more river to cross.

The animals cane five by five, there’s one more river to cross,
The honey bees looking to build a hive, there’s one more river to cross.

The animals cane six by six, there’s one more river to cross.
The monkey, he was up to his tricks, there’s one more river to cross.

The animals cane seven by seven, there’s one more river to cross,
Said the bear to the elephant “Who are you shovin’?”, there’s one more river to cross.

The animals came eight by eight, there’s one more river to cross,
Some were early and some were late, there’s one more river to cross.

The animals came nine by nine, there’s one more river to cross,
They all joined up and marched in a line, there’s one more river to cross.

The animals came ten by ten, there’s one more river to cross,
If you want any more then I’ll sing it again, there’s one more river to cross.
