Lyrics Roll Jordan Roll - Mahalia Jackson

Roll Jordan Roll

Roll Jordan roll, Roll Jordan,
Roll Jordan roll, Roll Jordan,
I want to go to heaven when I die,
To hear Jordan roll.
O brother you ought to have been there,
Yes, my Lord !
A sitting in the kingdom,
To hear Jordan roll.
O sister you ought to have been there,
Yes, my Lord !
A sitting in the kingdom,
To hear Jordan roll.
O mother you ought to have been there,
Yes, my Lord !
A sitting in the kingdom,
To hear Jordan roll.
O father you ought to have been there,
Yes, my Lord !
A sitting in the kingdom,
To hear Jordan roll.
Roll Jordan roll, Roll Jordan,
Roll Jordan roll, Roll Jordan,
I want to go to heaven when I die
to hear Jordan roll,
to hear Jordan roll,
to hear Jordan roll.
