Well I got a home on the other shore
Don't you hear Jerusalem moan
I know I'll live there forever more
Don't you hear Jerusalem moan
Chorus:
Don't you hear Jerusalem moan
Don't you hear Jerusalem moan
Thank God there's a Heaven and a
ringin' in my soul and my soul set free
Don't you hear Jerusalem moan
Well now Sister Mary she wears a chain
Don't you hear Jerusalem moan
And on every link is a Jesus' name
Don't you hear Jerusalem moan
The devil wears a hypocrite shoe
Don't you hear Jerusalem moan
You don't watch out he's gonna step 'em on you
Don't you hear Jerusalem moan
Now the Methodist preacher is a mighty fine man
Don't you hear Jerusalem moan
Showin' us the way to the promised land
Don't you hear Jerusalem moan
