Lyrics

Went down to the river Jordan Where John baptized three Well I woke the devil in hell Said "John ain't baptized me!" I said roll, Jordan, roll Roll, Jordan, roll My soul'll rise in heaven, Lord For the year when Jordan rolls Well some say John was a baptist (Some say) Some say John was a Jew (Hallelujah) But I say John was a preacher of God And my Bible says so too! I said roll, Jordan, roll Roll, Jordan, roll My soul'll rise in heaven, Lord For the year when Jordan rolls Hallelujah! Roll, Jordan, roll Roll, Jordan, roll My soul'll rise in heaven, Lord For the year when Jordan rolls Hallelujah! Roll, Jordan, roll Roll, Jordan, roll My soul'll rise in heaven, Lord For the year when Jordan rolls Everybody sing! Roll, Jordan, roll Roll, Jordan, roll My soul'll rise in heaven, Lord For the year when Jordan rolls Roll, Jordan, roll Roll, Jordan, roll My soul'll rise in heaven, Lord For the year when Jordan rolls Hallelujah! Roll, Jordan, roll Roll, Jordan, roll My soul'll rise in heaven, Lord For the year when Jordan rolls
