Song | Goin' Down Jordan |
Artist | Harry Belafonte |
Album | My Lord What A Mornin' |
作词 : Burgie, Woods | |
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 |
