Emmylou Harris - Get up John lyrics

rate me

(bill monroe/marty stuart/jerry sullivan)

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 the multitude that's waiting

That the saviors 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 tell jerusalem

Savior's waiting on the shore

Baptize him in the river jordan

I'll send a 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 soldiers come

You will die for me 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
