We are ...                                           Going down Jordan we are going down Jordan                                                                          we are going down Jordan let’s walk the heavenly road ! +  All together Children !    + CHORUS +  Once again  now !   + CHORUS                     2. Well the leader walked up and he shook my hand                                              said "I want you to be a holy man."                       Right away I made a big decision                                                              me stomach was a growling for this new religion.                                  I started over to get some food                                                                   when some sisters approached me in a mystic mood.                                                             They dunked me in the water ’bout four five times                                                           I couldn’t see a thing ’cause I was almost blind.                  -     Singing         I’ve got a sword in my hand                                    I’m going to use it well. Deliver me !            I’ve got a sword in my hand Hallelujah !                                   I’m going to use it well.                 3. I was drenched to me skin and I was feeling cold                                                           but the sight of the food made me take a hold.                 The sisters started to break away                                                     they said "Kneel believers kneel and pray!"                                                I prayed and I prayed in a new-found style                                                             in the meantime me taste buds was running wild.                                            I was about to fall clear out of me seat                                                               when a man jumped up and said "Before you eat!"  You got to ...                                                       Mourn children mourn you got to mourn children mourn                   and if you want to go to Heaven when you die                                          you got to mourn children mourn ! +  All together now !    + CHORUS +  Once again now !   + CHORUS                   4. Well before I baptized I had plenty pain                                              now I find myself a free man again.                      Well before I baptized I had plenty pain                                              now I find myself a free man again.                                                         Don’t talk ’bout the leaders they treat me good                                           plenty sweet oil and plenty food.                                                   My brother it was then that I realized.                                                  ev’ry man on earth should be baptized. ’Cause ...                                           Going down Jordan we are going down Jordan                                                                          we are going down Jordan let’s walk the heavenly road ! +  All together !    + CHORUS +  Once again now !   + CHORUS     (Harry Belafonte)

La chanson évoque un voyage spirituel marqué par un renouveau personnel. Le protagoniste, qui vivait précédemment selon les préceptes anglicans, se trouve dans une situation désespérée, affamé et sans chaussures. C’est alors qu’il découvre une communauté qui l'accueille chaleureusement, mettant en avant l'idée de la rédemption à travers la foi. En participant à un baptême, il ressent une libération, une transformation qui lui permet de se libérer de ses souffrances passées et de renouer avec une vie pleine de promesses. Le contexte de cette chanson reflète un environnement communautaire dans lequel la foi et la solidarité jouent un rôle central. Le protagoniste, en quête de spiritualité et de soutien, illustre comment la rencontre avec d'autres croyants peut profondément changer sa vie, lui offrant un sentiment de liberté et un nouveau but.
