Lyrics Kelly Joe Phelps

Kelly Joe Phelps

Sail The Jordan

When that trouble is getting hard up here

You and I know better to tell there

Get on a boat, sail the Jordan and jump in the river and drown

Deeper and deeper as my mother shall feel the pain

And her child shall gonna leave the sand

Get on a boat and jump in the river

Get on a boat, get on a boat and jump in the river and drown

Well I sing for my sister, trying as we may

We've got no place to hide and nowhere to stay

Get on a boat, get on a boat and jump in the river and drown

My child all the world is yours

I want to pray, fight it alone

Get on a boat, sail the Jordan and jump in and drown

Get on a boat, sail the Jordan, jump in the river and drown
