Duhks - Death Came a Knockin' lyrics

Death came a knockin'

You know that death came a knockin' on the 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 the 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 the 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 the 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 she shout "Hallelujah, done, done my duty, got on my travelin' shoes"

You know that death came a knockin' on the preacher's door

Singin' come on preacher, ain't you ready to go

And my preacher 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 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"
