Now your motor don’t run, like no Cadillac or Ford

Run like a Packard, Mama, out on the road

You got Jordan River in your hips 'n' your Daddy’s screaming to be baptized

You got Jordan River in your hips and your Daddy’s screaming to be baptized

The banks of this river is very high

But the stream in this river it don’t never go dry

You got Jordan River in your hips 'n' your Daddy’s screaming to be baptized

You got Jordan River in your hips and your Daddy’s screaming to be baptized

You know that's true mama, candidate of yours, for true

I want you to baptize me, know just what to do

You got Jordan River in your hips 'n' your Daddy’s screaming to be baptized

You got Jordan River in your hips and your Daddy’s screaming to be baptized

I'm a child of yours, you don't want to hold me in your arms

You know good and well I love you and I’m coming back home

You got Jordan River in your hips 'n' your Daddy’s screaming to be baptized

You got Jordan River in your hips and your Daddy’s screaming to be baptized

You know I’m a child, got thrown on your hand

I don’t wanna be baptized by no other woman or man

You got Jordan River in your hips 'n' your Daddy’s screaming to be baptized

You got Jordan River in your hips and your Daddy’s screaming to be baptized
