Goin' Down Jordan

We are going down Jordan

We are going down Jordan

We are going down Jordan

Let's walk the heavenly road

I was livin' me life as an Anglican

Let me tell you how I changed to a Baptist man

I was livin' me life as an Anglican

Let me tell you how I changed to a Baptist man

One night I was walkin' down-a Fredrick Street

Poor and hungry, no shoes on me feet

I pass a door that said, "Down with sin"

It was the smell of food that pull me in

We are going down Jordan

We are going down Jordan

We are going down Jordan

Let's walk the heavenly road

All together, children

Going down Jordan

We are going down Jordan

We are going down Jordan

Let's walk the heavenly road

Once again now

Going down Jordan

We are going down Jordan

We are going down Jordan

Let's walk the heavenly road

Well, the leader walk up and he shook my hand

Said, "I want you to be a holy man"

Right away, I made a quick decision

Me stomach was a-growlin' for this new religion

I started over to get some food

When some sisters approached me in a mystic mood

They dunked me in the water 'bout four, five times

I couldn't see a thing 'cause I was almost blind

Singin', "I got a sword in my hand

I'm going to use it well"

Deliver me

I got a sword in my hand

Hallelujah

I'm going to use it well

I was drenched to me skin, and I was feelin' cold

But the sight of the food make me take ahold

The sisters started to break away

They said, "Kneel, believers, kneel and pray"

I pray and I pray in a newfound style

In the meantime, me tastebuds was running wild

I was about to fall clear outta me seat

When a man jumped up and said, "Before you eat"

"You got to moan, children, moan

You got to moan, children, moan

And if you want to go to Heaven when you die

Got to moan, children, moan"

All together now

Moan, children, moan

You got to moan, children, moan

And if you want to go to Heaven when you die

Got to moan, children, moan

Once again now

Moan, children, moan

You got to moan, children, moan

And if you want to go to Heaven when you die

Got to moan, children, moan

Well, before I baptized, I had plenty pain

Now I find myself a free man again

Well, before I baptized, I had plenty pain

Now I find myself a free man again

Don't talk 'bout the leaders, they treat me good

Plenty sweet oil and plenty food

A-brother, it was then that I realized

Every man on Earth should be baptized

'Cause going down Jordan

We are going down Jordan

We are going down Jordan

Let's walk the heavenly road

Hup, deliverer

Going down Jordan

We are going down Jordan

We are going down Jordan

Let's walk the heavenly road

Once again now

Going down Jordan

We are going down Jordan

We are going down Jordan

Let's walk the heavenly road
