"Go with Me to That Land" or "Come and Go with Me (to That Land)" is a traditional gospel blues song recorded on April 20, 1930 by Blind Willie Johnson with backing vocals by Willie B. Harris, who may have been his first wife. It was released as a single on Columbia 14597-D, backed with "Everybody Ought to Treat a Stranger Right".

The lyrics express a Christian believer's expectation of a better life after this mortal one. The chorus, in call-and-response format, runs:

Come and go with me to that land, (x3)
Where I'm bound.
