[00:00:00] Goin' Down Jordan - Elvis Presley - Harry Belafonte

[00:00:10] We are going down Jordan

[00:00:12] We are going down Jordan

[00:00:15] We are going down Jordan

[00:00:17] Let's walk the heavenly road

[00:00:20] I was livin' me life as an Anglican

[00:00:23] Let me tell you how I changed to a Baptist man

[00:00:25] I was livin' me life as an Anglican

[00:00:28] Let me tell you how I changed to a Baptist man

[00:00:30] One night I was walking down Fred'rick street

[00:00:33] Poor and hungry no shoes on me feet

[00:00:36] I passed a door that said "Down with sin"

[00:00:38] It was the smell of food that pull me in

[00:00:40] We are going down Jordan

[00:00:43] We are going down Jordan

[00:00:46] We are going down Jordan

[00:00:48] Let's walk the heavenly road

[00:00:51] We are going down Jordan

[00:00:53] We are going down Jordan

[00:00:56] We are going down Jordan

[00:00:58] Let's walk the heavenly road

[00:01:01] We are going down Jordan

[00:01:03] We are going down Jordan

[00:01:06] We are going down Jordan

[00:01:08] Let's walk the heavenly road

[00:01:11] Well the leader walked up and he shook my hand

[00:01:13] Said "I want you to be a holy man"

[00:01:16] Right away I made a big decision

[00:01:19] Me stomach was a growling for this new religion

[00:01:21] I started over to get some food

[00:01:23] When some sisters approached me in a mystic mood

[00:01:26] They dunked me in the water 'bout four five times

[00:01:29] I couldn't see a thing 'cause I was almost blind

[00:01:31] Singing I've got a sword in my hand

[00:01:36] I'm going to use it well

[00:01:51] I was drenched to me skin and I was feeling cold

[00:01:53] But the sight of the food made me take a hold

[00:01:56] The sisters started to break away

[00:01:58] They said "Kneel believers kneel and pray"

[00:02:01] I prayed and I prayed in a new-found style

[00:02:03] In the meantime me taste buds was running wild

[00:02:06] I was about to fall clear out of me seat

[00:02:08] When a man jumped up and said "Before you eat

[00:02:11] You got to mourn children mourn

[00:02:13] You got to mourn children mourn

[00:02:16] And if you want to go to Heaven when you die

[00:02:18] You got to mourn children mourn

[00:02:40] Well before I baptized I had plenty pain

[00:02:43] Now I find myself a free man again

[00:02:45] Well before I baptized I had plenty pain

[00:02:48] Now I find myself a free man again

[00:02:50] Don't talk 'bout the leaders they treat me good

[00:02:53] Plenty sweet oil and plenty food

[00:02:55] Brother it was then that I realized

[00:02:58] Ev'ry man on earth should be baptized

[00:03:00] Going down Jordan

[00:03:03] We are going down Jordan

[00:03:05] We are going down Jordan

[00:03:07] Let's walk the heavenly road

[00:03:10] Going down Jordan

[00:03:12] We are going down Jordan

[00:03:15] We are going down Jordan

[00:03:17] Let's walk the heavenly road

[00:03:20] Going down Jordan

[00:03:22] We are going down Jordan

[00:03:24] We are going down Jordan

[00:03:27] Let's walk the heavenly road
