Refrain:
I want to be ready,
I want to be ready,
I want to be ready
To walk in Jerusalem just like John.
O John, O John, what did you say?
Walk in Jerusalem just like John.
That you'd be there on Judgment Day!
Walk in Jerusalem just like John. [Refrain]
John said the city was just four-square.
Walk in Jerusalem just like John!
And he declared he'd meet me there.
Walk in Jerusalem just like John!
Now, sinners, mind how you step on the cross,
Walk in Jerusalem just like John.
Your foot might slip and your soul get lost,
Walk in Jerusalem just like John. [Refrain]
When Peter was preaching at Pentecost
Walk in Jerusalem just like John!
He was endowed with the Holy Ghost,
Walk in Jerusalem just like John! [Refrain]
If you get there before I do,
Walk in Jerusalem just like John.
Tell all my friends I'm acomin', too.
Walk in Jerusalem just like John. [Refrain]
