Jordan River
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
No wicked shall not enter this-a river
The fittest of the fittest shall enter
Who is the son of he from Buzz Rock
With his garment dipped in blood?
All I know is that
Jordan River gonna roll, roll, roll,
Jordan River gonna roll,
Let it roll, let it roll, let it roll,
Roll, roll, roll,
Jordan River gonna roll.
Let it roll, let it roll, must roll,
Roll, roll, roll,
Jordan River gonna roll.
Jordan River go roll, a go roll
Jordan River a go roll, a go roll
Roll,Jordan River.
Roll,Jordan River,
Roll,Jordan River,
Let it roll, let it roll, let it roll,
Roll, roll, roll,
Jordan River a go roll
Jordan River a go roll, a go roll.
Roll, River Jordan, roll
Roll, River Jordan, roll
Roll, River Jordan
Roll, River Jordan
A go roll, a go roll, a go roll.
Roll, roll, roll,
Jordan River a go roll
My black brothers and sisters
Waiting up on I and I come forth home,
Hold hands in hands.
Be side by side,
Sing happy songs at River Jordan's side
Jordan River gonna roll, roll, roll
Jordan River gonna roll
River gonna roll, gonna roll
Roll, roll, roll,
Jordan River gonna roll
No wicked shall not enter this river
Roll, roll, roll,
The fittest of the fittest shall enter
Wicked shall not enter
Wicked shall not enter
People come and see it flow.
Roll, roll, roll,
People come and see the river flow
A go roll, a go roll, a go roll, a go roll
