River Jordan gonna roll
Roll, roll, roll-roll-roll-roll, yeah

Jordan River, roll River Jordan
Calling us home, calling us home
We got to back ho-oo-oo-ome
Back to Africa
It's just calling us home
Calling us home

Mount Zion high, where we want to go
It's just calling us home
Calling us home

So long we've been down in slavery, well
And now we just got to be free
Yes, we want to be free, well

Jordan River, roll River Jordan
Calling us home, calling us home
We got to back home
Back to Africa
It's just calling us home
Calling us home

So long we've been bound in shackles and chains, woah
And now, we just want to go home
We got to go home, we want to go ho-oo-oo-oome, woah

Jordan River gonna roll
Ro-oo-ooll, ro-oo-ool
Jordan River, let it roll

So long we've been bound in captivity
And now, we just got to be free
Babylon we want to be free, well

Jordan River, roll River Jordan
Calling us home, calling us home
We got to back ho-oo-oo-ome
Back to Africa
It's just calling us home
Calling us home

Oh River Jordan gonna roll
Oh River Jordan gonna roll
Ro-oo-oo-ooll
