Well, the place in Jordan you can’t go 'round, hallelu, hallelu
Place in Jordan you can't go ’round, hallelu
Place in Jordan you can't go 'round
You ain't got religion, you gon' drown
Then you're gonna need that pure religion, hallelu, hallelu

When you're crossin' over Jordan, don’t have no fеar, hallelu

Well, death is ridin’ all through the land, hallelu
Death is ridin' all through the land, hallelu

[Verse 5]
Well, the doctor's standin', lookin' sad, hallelu
Doctor's standin', lookin' sad, hallelu

Hardest case I ever had
Then you're gonna need that pure religion, hallelu, hallelu

[Verse 6]
Well, my mother and father 'round my bed are cryin', hallelu
Mother and father 'round my bed are crying, hallelu
Mother and father 'round my bed are crying
Lord have mercy, my child is dying
Then you're gonna need that pure religion, hallelu, hallelu

Well, the train is comin', done turned the curve, hallelu
Train is comin', done turned the curve, hallelu, hallelu
Train is comin', done turned the curve
Fixin' to leave this sinful world

Ride on, death, don't ride so slow, hallelu, hallelu
Ride on, death, don't ride so slow, hallelu
Ride on, death, don't ride so slow
For I am willing, ready to go
Then you're gonna need that pure religion, halle, oh, hallelu
