Lyrics
Roll Jordan
Roll, roll Jordan, roll
I want to go to heaven when I die
To hear Jordan roll (roll, roll, roll)
Jordan roll, roll Jordan, roll
I want to go to heaven when I die
To hear Jordan roll (roll, roll, roll)
Now brother, you ought to been there
Yes, my Lord
A sitting in the kingdom
To hear Jordan

Well, roll Jordan, roll (roll Jordan)
Roll Jordan, roll (roll Jordan, roll Jordan)
I want to go to heaven when I die
Roll Jordan, roll
Well my mother, you ought to been there
Mother, you ought to been there
My mother, you ought to been there
Roll, Jordan roll
Oh you can see it roll, better roll, better roll (roll Jordan, roll Jordan)
Roll Jordan, roll (roll Jordan, roll Jordan)
I want to go to heaven when I die
Roll Jordan, roll
Well my mother, you ought to been there (oh yes)

My mother, you ought to been there
Roll, Jordan roll
Chorus 2:
Oh you can see it roll, better roll, better roll (roll Jordan, roll Jordan)
