Get Up John Lyrics - At The Ryman - Emmylou Harris

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.
