| We are going down, Jordan | |
| We are going down, Jordan | |
| We are going down, Jordan | |
| Let's walk the heavenly road | |
| I was livin' me life as an Anglican | |
| Let me tell you how I changed to a Baptist man | |
| I was livin' me life as an Anglican | |
| Let me tell you how I changed to a Baptist man | |
| One night I was walking down Fred'rick street | |
| Poor and hungry, no shoes on me feet | |
| I passed a door that said "Down with sin" | |
| It was the smell of food that pull me in | |
| We are going down, Jordan | |
| We are going down, Jordan | |
| We are going down, Jordan | |
| Let's walk the heavenly road | |
| Well, the leader walked up and he shook my hand | |
| Said "I want you to be a holy man" | |
| Right away I made a big decision | |
| Me stomach was a growling for this new religion | |
| I started over to get some food | |
| When some sisters approached me in a mystic mood | |
| They dunked me in the water 'bout four, five times | |
| I couldn't see a thing 'cause I was almost blind | |
| Singing I've got a sword in my hand | |
| I'm going to use it well | |
| I was drenched to me skin and I was feeling cold | |
| But the sight 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 a new-found style | |
| In the meantime me taste buds was running wild | |
| I was about to fall clear out of me seat | |
| When a man jumped up and said "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 | |
| Well, before I baptized I had plenty pain, | |
| Now I find myself a free man again | |
| Well, before I baptized I had plenty pain, | |
| Now I find myself a free man again | |
| Don't talk 'bout the leaders they treat me good, | |
| Plenty sweet oil and plenty food | |
| Brother it was then that I realized | |
| Ev'ry man on earth should be baptized | |
| Going down, Jordan | |
| We are going down, Jordan | |
| We are going down, Jordan | |
| Let's walk the heavenly road |
