Death Came a Knockin'

Oh you know that

Oh you know that

You know that death came a-knockin' on my mother's door

Singin' "Come on, mother, ain't ya 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 ya 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".

Hey hey,

Hey hey

You know that death came a-knockin' on my brother's door

Singin' "Come on, brother, ain't ya 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 neighbours door

Singin' "Come on, neighbour, ain't ya ready to go?"

And my neighbour 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".

Hey hey,

Hey hey

You know that death came a-knockin' on my preachers door

Singin' "Come on, preacher, ain't ya 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 ya ready to go?"

And then I'll stoop right down, buckle up my shoes

And I'll move on down by the Jordan stream.

And then I'll shout

"Hallelujah! Done, done my duty!

Got on my travelin' shoes".
