Lyrics

You know that death came a knockin’ on my mother’s door
Singin' come on mother, ain't you ready to go
And my mother 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"

Death came a knockin’ on my sister's door
Singin' come on sister, ain't you 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"

You know that death came a knockin’ on my brother's door
Singin' come on brother, ain't you ready to go
And my brother stooped down, buckled up his shoes
And he moved on down by the Jordan stream
And then he shout "Hallelujah, done, done my duty, got on my travelin' shoes"

You know when death came a knockin’ on my neighbor's door
Singin' come on neighbor, ain't you ready to go
And my neighbor stooped down, buckled up his shoes
And he moved on down by the Jordan stream
And then he shout "Hallelujah, done, done my duty, got on my travelin' shoes"

You know that death came a knockin’ on my preacher's door
Singin' come on preacher, ain't you ready to go
And my preacher stooped down, buckled up his shoes
And he moved on down by the Jordan stream
And then he shout "Hallelujah, done, done my duty, got on my travelin' shoes"

You know when death comes a knockin’ on my front door
Singin' come on sister, ain't you ready to go
I’m gonna stoop right down, buckle up my shoes
Gonna move on down by the Jordan stream
And then I’ll shout "Hallelujah, done, done my duty, got on my travelin' shoes"
