We Are Goin’ Down Jordan

We are goin' down Jordan
We are goin' down Jordan
We are goin' down Jordan
We're gonna walk the heavenly road

We are goin' down Jordan
We are goin' down Jordan
We are goin' down Jordan
We're gonna walk the heavenly road

I was living my life as an Anglican
Let me tell you how I changed to a baptiste man
I was living my life as an Anglican
Let me tell you how I changed to a baptiste man
One night I was walking down Frederick Street
Poor and hungry no shoes on my feet
I passed the door that said: "Down with sin" !
It was the smell of food that pulled me in

We are goin' down Jordan
We are goin' down Jordan
We are goin' down Jordan
We're gonna walk the heavenly road

Well the leader woke up and shook my hand
Said: "I want you to be a holy man"
Right away I made a quick decision
My stomach was groaning for this true religion
I started over to get some food

When some of my sisters approached me in a mysteric mood
Duck me in the water for five times
I couldn't see a thing I cause I was almost blind

We are goin' down Jordan
We are goin' down Jordan
We are goin' down Jordan
We're gonna walk the heavenly road

You got to moan
Children
Moan
You got to moan
Children
Moan
And if you want to go
To heaven when you die
You got to moan
Children
Moan
