Roll, Jordan, Roll lyrics

Oh Roll, Jordan, roll

Roll, Jordan, roll

I want to go to heaven when I die

To hear sweet Jordan roll

Oh Roll, Jordan, roll

Roll, Jordan, roll

I want to go to heaven when I die

To hear sweet Jordan roll

My brother, you ought to been there

Yes, my lord

Is sitting in the kingdom

To hear sweet Jordan roll

Oh Roll, Jordan, roll

Roll, Jordan, roll

I want to go to heaven when I die

To hear sweet Jordan roll

My mother, you ought to been there

Yes, my lord

Is sitting in the kingdom

To hear sweet Jordan roll

Oh Roll, Jordan, roll

Roll, Jordan, roll

I want to go to heaven when I die

To hear sweet Jordan roll

My sister, you ought to been there

Yes, my lord

Is sitting in the kingdom

To hear sweet Jordan

Oh Roll, Jordan, roll

Roll, roll

I want to go to heaven when I die

To hear sweet Jordan roll

Oh Roll, Jordan, roll

Roll, Jordan, roll

I want to go to heaven when I die

To hear sweet Jordan roll

Roll, Oh! To hear sweet Jordan roll!
