Lyrics:

You know that death came a knockin on my mama's door
Singin' come on mama, ain't you ready to go
And my mama 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"
You know that death came a knockin on my sister's door
Singin' come on sister, ain't you 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"

You know that death came a knockin on my brother's door
Singin' come on brother, ain't you 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 that death came a knockin on my neighbor's door
Singin' come on neighbor, ain't you ready to go
And my neighbor 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 that death came a knockin on my preacher's door
Singin' come on preacher, ain't you ready to go
And my preacher stooped down, buckled up the shoes
And she moved on down by the Jordan stream
And then she shout "Hallelujah, done, done my duty, got on my travelin' shoes"

You know that death came a knockin on my front door
Singin' come on sister, ain't you ready to go
So I stooped down, buckled my shoes
And I move on down by the Jordan stream
And then I shout "Hallelujah, done, done my duty, got on my travelin' shoes"
And then I shout "Hallelujah, done, done my duty, got on my travelin' shoes"
