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 This will be a Holy day Tell them of the Jew that's waiting That the Saviors on the way

John Even the children John Go Unafraid John I'll go with you John The Baptist This is the day

Well get up John go tell Jerusalem Savior's waiting on the shore Baptize Him in the River Jordan I'll send a dove from Heaven's door

John Even the children 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 soldiers come You will die for me tomorrow Welcome home your race is run
