- Harry Belafonte Goin' Down Jordan 歌詞
- Harry Belafonte
- We are going down, Jordan
We are going down, Jordan
We are going down, Jordan
Lets 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 Fredrick 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
Lets 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 couldnt see a thing cause I was almost blind
Singing Ive got a sword in my hand
Im 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 whenyou 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
Dont talk bout the leaders they treat me good,
Plenty sweet oil and plenty food
Brother it was then that I realized
Evry man on earth should be baptized
Going down, Jordan
We are going down, Jordan
We are going down, Jordan
Lets walk the heavenly road
