John said the city was just four-square,
Walk in Jerusalem just like John,
And he declared he's meet me there,
Walk in Jerusalem just like John.

Oh, John ! oh, John ! what do you say ?
Walk in Jerusalem just like John,
That I'll be there at the coming day,
Walk in Jerusalem just like John.

When Peter was preaching at Pentecost,
Walk in Jerusalem just like John,
He was endowed with the Holy Ghost,
Walk in Jerusalem just like John.
