Emmylou Harris And The Nash Ramblers - Get Up John lyrics

Well, get up John, go down to Jordan Get up John, prepare the way Man from Galilee is waitin' 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 Saviour's 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 Saviour'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...
