Roll, Jordan, roll.
I wanter go to heav'n when I die,
To hear ol' Jordan roll.
O brothers you oughter been dere,
Yes my Lord.
A sittin' up in de kingdom,
To hear ol' Jordan roll, Sing it ovah, O,
Roll, Jordan, Roll, Jordan, roll,
I wanter go to heav'n when I die,
To hear ol' Jordan roll.
O sisters you oughter been dere, etc.
