Went down to the River Jordan
Where John baptized three
Well I woke the devil in hell
Saying John ain't baptize me
I say roll, Jordan, roll
Roll, Jordan, roll
My soul arise in heaven, Lord
For the year when Jordan roll
Well, some say John was a Baptist
Some say John was a Jew
But I say John was a preacher of God
And my Bible says so too
I say roll, Jordan, roll
Roll, Jordan, roll
My soul arise in heaven, Lord
For the year when Jordan roll
Hallelujah!
Roll, Jordan, roll
Roll, Jordan, roll
My soul arise in heaven, Lord
For the year when Jordan roll
Hallelujah!
Roll, Jordan, roll
Roll, Jordan, roll
My soul arise in heaven, Lord
For the year when Jordan roll
Everybody say!
Roll, Jordan, roll
Roll, Jordan, roll
My soul arise in heaven, Lord
For the year when Jordan roll
Oh, children!
Roll, Jordan, roll
Roll, Jordan, roll
My soul arise in heaven, Lord
For the year when Jordan roll
Halleluiah!
Roll, Jordan, roll
Roll, Jordan, roll
My soul arise in heaven, Lord
For the year when Jordan roll
