DON'T YOU HEAR JERUSALEM MOAN

Well I got a home on the other shore
Don't you hear Jerusalem moan
I know I’ll live there forever more
Don't you hear Jerusalem moan

Chorus (after each verse):
Don't you hear Jerusalem moan
Don't you hear Jerusalem moan
Thank God there's a heaven and a ringin' in my soul and my soul's set free
Don't you hear Jerusalem moan

It's a hard road to walk and a mighty long way,
Don't you hear Jerusalem moan
But your feet are gettin flyin when your soul is saved
Don't you hear Jerusalem moan

Well, a Baptist preacher knows his Bible
Don't you hear Jerusalem moan
He's on a first-name basis with the saints inside.
Don't you hear Jerusalem moan

(as recorded by Nitty Gritty Dirt Band on "Will the Circle Be Unbroken, Volume 2
)

Additional verses/version


Now sister Mary, she wears a golden chain
Don't you hear Jerusalem moan
And on each link is a-Jesus' name
Don't you hear Jerusalem moan

Well, old Satan wears a hypocrite's shoes
Don't you hear Jerusalem moan
If you don't watch out he's gonna step on you
Don't you hear Jerusalem moan

Well the Methodist preacher is a mighty fine man
Don't you hear Jerusalem moan
He's showin' us the way to the Promised Land
Don't you hear Jerusalem moan

Well the Baptist preacher is a mighty fine preacher
Don't you hear Jerusalem moan
A bible speaker is a natural born teacher
Don't you hear Jerusalem moan
