Lyrics: Kelly Joe Phelps. Roll Away the Stone. Sail The Jordan.

Sail the Jordan


When that trouble is getting hard up here
You and I know better to tell there
Get on a boat, sail the Jordan and jump in the river and drown

Deeper and deeper as my mother shall feel the pain
And her child shall gonna leave the sand
Get on a boat and jump in the river
Get on a boat, get on a boat and jump in the river and drown


Well I sing for my sister, trying as we may
We've got no place to hide and nowhere to stay
Get on a boat, get on a boat and jump in the river and drown

My child all the world is yours
I want to pray, fight it alone
Get on a boat, sail the Jordan and jump in and drown
Get on a boat, sail the Jordan, jump in the river and drown
