James Travis "Jim" Reeves (August 20, 1923 – July 31, 1964) was an American country and popular music singer-songwriter. With records charting from the 1950s to the 1980s, he became well known as a practitioner of the Nashville sound (a mixture of older country-style music with elements of popular music). Known as "Gentleman Jim", his songs continued to chart for years after his death. Reeves died at age 40 in the crash of a private airplane. He is a member of both the Country Music and Texas Country Music Halls of Fame. more »

I had lived a life of sin in this world were living in
I had done forbidden things I shouldn't do
I ask a beggar along the way, & u can tell me where to stay
Where I'd find real happiness and love that's true

Across the bridge, there's no more sorrow
Across the bridge, there's no more pain
The Sun will shine across the river
And you'll never be unhappy again

Follow footsteps of the King and you'll hear the voices ring
They'll be singing out the glory of the Lamb
The river of Jordan will be near, the sound of trumpets you will hear
You'll behold the special place ever known to man

Across the bridge, there's no more sorrow
Across the bridge, there's no more pain
The Sun will shine across the river
And you'll never be unhappy again

Across the bridge, there's no more sorrow
Across the bridge, thees no more pain
The Sun will shine across the river
And you'll never be unhappy again

Across the bridge, there's no more sorrow
Across the bridge, there's no more pain
The Sun will shine across the river
And you'll never be unhappy again

    Stonewall Jackson's dying words were, "Let us cross over the river and rest in the shade of the trees." I wonder if that quote was an influence in the writing of this song.
