I was living my life as an Anglican
Let me tell you how I changed to a Baptist man
I was living my life as an Anglican
Let me tell you how I changed to a Baptist man
One night I was walking down Frederick Street
Poor and hungry, no shoes on my feet
I passed the door that said 'down with sins'
It was the smell of food that pulled me in

We are goin' down Jordan, we are goin' down Jordan ....

Well, the leader woke up and shook my hand
Said 'I want you to be a holy man'
Right away I made a quick decision
My stomach was groaning for this true religion
I started over to get some food
When some of my sisters approached me in a mystic mood
Duck me in the water for five times
I couldn't see a thing 'cause I was almost blind

We are goin' down Jordan, we are goin' down Jordan ....

You got to moan, children moan, you got to moan, children moan
And if you want to go to heaven when you die
You got to moan, children moan
You got to moan, children moan, you got to moan, children moan
And if you want to go to heaven when you die
You got to moan, children moan
You got to moan, children moan, you got to moan, children moan
And if you want to go to heaven when you die
You got to moan, children moan

We are goin' down Jordan, we are goin' down Jordan ....
