ROLL, JORDAN, ROLL

My brudder sittin' on de tree of life
An' he yearde when Jordan roll;
Roll, Jordan, roll, Jordan
Roll Jordan, roll
O march de angel march
O march de angel march
O my soul arise in Heaven,
For to yearde when Jordan roll.

Little chil'en learn to fear de Lord
An' let yor days be long
Roll, Jordan etc.

O let no false nor spiteful word
Be found upon your tongue
Roll Jordan etc.
