My friends, thank you for posting the lyrics to RIVER OF JORDAN. Does anyone know if there would be a problem if I used this phrase from these lyrics: "There is only one river, there is only one sea..."? I write novels for young adults.
    Does anyone know who originally penned these lyrics and is there any standing copyright for these lyrics? How old is this tune/lyrics and where did it originate? (I think the Carter Family (A.P. Carter, etc.) used to sing this song in the 1920's or so, didn't they?)
Many thanks, Dave Mason
