Well get up John go down to Jordan

Get up John prepare the way

Man from Galilee is waiting

You must meet him there today



Get up John go tell my people

Tell them of the Jew that's waiting

That the Saviors on the way

Baptize Him in the River Jordan

I'll send a dove from Heaven's door



John

Even the children

Well get up John your work is finished

Daylight breaks the soldiers come
