Oh you know that
Oh you know that
You know that d**h came a-knockin' on my mother's door
Singin' "Come on, mother, ain't ya ready to go?"

And she moved on down by the Jordan stream
And then she shout
"Hallelujah! Done, done my duty!
Got on my travelin' shoes"
d**h came a-knockin' on my sister's door
Singin' "Come on, sister, ain't ya ready to go?"
And my sister stooped down, buckled up her shoes
And she moved on down by the Jordan stream
And then she shout
"Hallelujah! Done, done my duty!
Got on my travelin' shoes"
Hey hey

"Hallelujah! Done, done my duty!
Got on my travelin' shoes"

And then he shout
"Hallelujah! Done, done my duty!

Singin' "Come on, sister, ain't ya ready to go?"

And I'll move on down by the Jordan stream
And then I'll shout
"Hallelujah! Done, done my duty!
Got on my travelin' shoes"
