Lyrics
Well, get up John, go down to Jordan
Get up John, prepare the way
The man in the valley is waiting
You must meet him there today
Get up John, go tell my people
This will be a holy day
Tell the multitude that's waiting
That the savior's on the way
John, you've been chosen
John, go unafraid
John, I'll go with you
John the Baptist, this is the day
Well, get up John, go down to Jerusalem
The savior's waiting on the shore
Baptize them in the river Jordan
I'll send the dove from heaven's door
John, you've been chosen
John, go unafraid
John, I'll go with you
John the Baptist, this is the day
Well, get up John, your work is finished
Daylight breaks, the soldier's gone
You and I will meet tomorrow
Welcome home, your race is run
John, you've been chosen
John, go unafraid
John, I'll go with you
John the Baptist, this is the day
