Lyrics

Went down to the river Jordan,
Where John baptised three
When I walked the devil in hell,
said John ain't baptised me...
I said roll, Jordan roll,
Roll, Jordan roll,
My soul ought to rise in heaven, Lord,
For the year when Jordan rolls
Well some say John was a baptist,
Some say John was a Jew,
But I say John was a preacher
& my bible says so too
I said roll, Jordan roll,
Roll, Jordan roll,
My soul ought to rise in heaven, Lord,
For the year when Jordan rolls
