[verse 1]
i was living meh life like an anglican
let me tell you how i changed to a baptist man
living very happy like an anglican
let me tell you how i changed to a baptist man
one night i was walking down charlotte street
poor and hungry, no shoes on my feet
i passed by a door that said, “down with sin”
it was the smell of food, brother, that dragged me in
[chorus]
we are goin’ down jordan
we are goin’ down jordan
we are goin’ down jordan
we’re gonna walk the heavenly road
one more time…
[chorus]
we are goin’ down jordan
we are goin’ down jordan
we are goin’ down jordan
we’re gonna walk the heavenly road
[verse 2]
well, the leader walked up and he shook meh hand
said, “i want you to be a holy man”
right away i made a quick decision
because meh belly was crying for this new religion
i make a sn~tch just to get some food
but the sisters a~hold me in a mystic mood
they dunked me in the water ’bout four, five times
i couldn’t see a thing for i was almost blind
[bridge]
singing, “i’ve got a sword in my hand
help me to use it well, hallelujah
i’ve got a sword in my hand
help me to to use it well”
[verse 3]
i was drenched to meh skin and was feeling cold
but the smell of the food made me take a hold
the sisters started to break away
they said, “kneel, believers, kneel and pray”
i prayed and i prayed in this new~found style
this time meh mouth was dribbling wild
i nearly fall clear out meh seat
when a man jumped up and said…
[break]
“before you eat
you got to mourn, children, mourn
you got to mourn, children, mourn
and if you want to go to heaven when you die
you got to mourn, children, mourn
you got to mourn, children, mourn
you got to mourn, children, mourn
and if you want to go to heaven when you die
you got to mourn, children, mourn”
[verse 4]
well, before i baptized i had plenty pain
now i find myself a well man again
oh meh lawd, i had plenty pain
now i find myself ever strong again
don’t talk ’bout the leaders, they treat me good
plenty sweet oil and plenty food
brother it is now i realize
that ev’ry calypsonian should be baptized
[bridge]
because ah feel raised to here again
no more sorrow, no more pain
[chorus]
we are goin’ down jordan
we are goin’ down jordan
we are goin’ down jordan

one more time…
[chorus]
we are goin’ down jordan
we are goin’ down jordan
we are goin’ down jordan
we’re gonna walk the heavenly road
[chorus]
(we are goin’ down jordan

one more time…
[chorus]
we are goin’ down jordan
we are goin’ down jordan
we are goin’ down jordan
we’re gonna walk the heavenly road
