Deep River, as posted in the DT, is a mess. It should be replaced. Verses may vary, but here is an old version from Dett:

Lyr. Add: DEEP RIVER

Deep river, my home is over Jordan,-
Deep river, Lord,
I want to cross over into campground,
Lord, I want to cross over into campground,
Lord, I want to cross over into campground,
Lord, I want to cross over into campground.

1.
O don't you want to go to that gospel feast,
That promised land where all is peace?
Lord, I want to cross over into camp ground,
Lord, I want to cross over into campground,
Lord, I want to cross over into campground.
2.
I'll go into heaven and take my seat,
Cast my crown at Jesus' feet.
Lord, I want etc.
3.
O when I get to heav'n I'll walk all about,
There's nobody there for to turn me out.
Lord, I want etc.

The deeply felt lyrics sung by Paul Robson follow closely the arrangement by William Arms Fisher, a close friend of Robson's.
Thanks, Mr. Happy.
I will post that lyric arrangement a little later.
