[00:00:10] We are going down Jordan

[00:00:12] We are going down Jordan

[00:00:15] We are going down Jordan

[00:00:17] Let's walk the heavenly road

[00:00:20] I was livin' me life as an Anglican

[00:00:23] Let me tell you how I changed to a Baptist man

[00:00:25] I was livin' me life as an Anglican

[00:00:28] Let me tell you how I changed to a Baptist man

[00:00:31] One night I was walking down Fred'rick street

[00:00:33] Poor and hungry no shoes on me feet

[00:00:36] I passed a door that said

[00:00:37] Down with sin

[00:00:38] It was the smell of food that pull me in

[00:00:41] We are going down Jordan

[00:00:43] We are going down Jordan

[00:00:46] We are going down Jordan

[00:00:48] Let's walk the heavenly road

[00:00:51] Going down Jordan

[00:00:53] We are going down Jordan

[00:00:56] We are going down Jordan

[00:00:59] Let's walk the heavenly road

[00:01:02] Going down Jordan

[00:01:04] We are going down Jordan

[00:01:06] We are going down Jordan

[00:01:09] Let's walk the heavenly road

[00:01:11] Well the leader walked up and he shook my hand

[00:01:14] Said

[00:01:14] I want you to be a holy man

[00:01:17] Right away I made a big decision

[00:01:19] Me stomach was a growling for this new religion

[00:01:22] I started over to get some food

[00:01:24] When some sisters approached me in a mystic mood

[00:01:27] They dunked me in the water 'bout four five times

[00:01:29] I couldn't see a thing 'cause I was almost blind

[00:01:32] Singing I've got a sword in my hand

[00:01:37] I'm going to use it well

[00:01:42] I've got a sword in my hand

[00:01:47] I'm going to use it well

[00:01:52] I was drenched to me skin and I was feeling cold

[00:01:54] But the sight of the food made me take a hold

[00:01:57] The sisters started to break away

[00:01:59] They said

[00:02:00] Kneel believers kneel and pray

[00:02:02] I prayed and I prayed in a new found style

[00:02:04] In the meantime me taste buds was running wild

[00:02:07] I was about to fall clear out of me seat

[00:02:09] When a man jumped up and said

[00:02:11] Before you eat

[00:02:12] You got to mourn children mourn

[00:02:14] You got to mourn children mourn

[00:02:17] And if you want to go to Heaven when you die

[00:02:19] You got to mourn children mourn

[00:02:22] Mourn children mourn

[00:02:24] You got to mourn children mourn

[00:02:27] And if you want to go to heaven when you die

[00:02:29] You got to mourn children mourn

[00:02:32] Mourn children mourn

[00:02:34] You got to mourn children mourn

[00:02:37] And if you want to go to heaven when you die

[00:02:39] You got to mourn children mourn

[00:02:42] Well before I baptized I had plenty pain

[00:02:44] Now I find myself a free man again

[00:02:46] Well before I baptized I had plenty pain

[00:02:49] Now I find myself a free man again

[00:02:51] Don't talk 'bout the leaders they treat me good

[00:02:54] Plenty sweet oil and plenty food

[00:02:57] Brother it was then that I realized

[00:02:59] Ev'ry man on earth should be baptized

[00:03:16] We are going down Jordan

[00:03:18] We are going down Jordan

[00:03:21] We are going down Jordan

[00:03:23] Let's walk the heavenly road

[00:03:26] Going down Jordan

[00:03:28] We are going down Jordan

[00:03:31] We are going down Jordan

[00:03:33] Let's walk the heavenly road

[00:03:36] Going down Jordan

[00:03:38] We are going down Jordan

[00:03:40] We are going down Jordan

[00:03:43] Let's walk the heavenly road
