Lyrics Roll Jordan, Roll - Golden Gate Quartet

Roll Jordan, Roll

Well, now roll Jordan, roll
(Why don’t you?)
Roll, Jordan, roll
(Well)
I want to go to Heaven when I die
To hear ol' Jordan, roll
Well, now roll Jordan, roll
(Why don’t you?)
Roll, Jordan, roll
(Well)
I want to go to Heaven when I die
To hear ol' Jordan, roll
O brother, you ought to been there
Yes, my Lord
A-sitting up in the kingdom
To hear roll Jordan, roll
Well, now roll Jordan, roll
(Why don’t you?)
Roll, Jordan, roll
(Well)
I want to go to Heaven when I die
To hear ol' Jordan, roll
My sister, you ought to been there
A-sitting up in the kingdom
To hear them preaching of the elders
Talk about the river of Jordan
You got to live right then
You got to stay right then
You will die right
To cross the river of Jordan
Well, now roll Jordan, roll on
Roll Jordan, roll
(Well)
I want to go to Heaven when I die
To hear ol' Jordan, roll
You can hear them preaching in the morning
Hear them preaching in the evening
And if you sit and listen
They will surely help
Help you to live right
Help you to stay right
Help you to die right
And cross the river of Jordon
Well, now roll Jordan, roll on
Roll, Jordan, roll
(Well)
I want to go to Heaven when I die
To hear ol' Jordan, roll
