Deep River is one of the best known of the spirituals, originating among the enslaved Africans in the United States during the 18th. and 19th. Centuries.
Although primarily expressions of religious faith, spirituals were also veiled protest songs, the sense of the oppression conveyed in the lyrics being clear to present day performers :

Deep River,
My home is over Jordan,
Deep River, Lord,
I want to cross over into campground,
Oh, don't you want to go,
To the Gospel feast :
That Promised Land,
Where all is peace ?
