Roll Jordan roll
Roll Jordan roll
I want to get to heaven when I die
To hear Jordan roll

My brother, you ought to been there
Yes, my Lord
A sitting in the kingdom
To see o Jordan roll

Roll Jordan roll
Roll Jordan roll
I want to get to heaven when I die
To hear Jordan roll

My mother, you ought to been there
Yes, my Lord
A sitting in the kingdom
To see o Jordan roll
