Walking in Jerusalem (Up in Jerusalem) - Mahalia Jackson

Way up, way up Way up, way up High up in Jerusalem

When I die

(rpt again)

Go knows I’m gonna

Walk in Jerusalem

Talk in Jerusalem

Sing in Jerusalem

Be in Jerusalem

High up in Jerusalem whe I die

Oh, be in Jerusalem

Sing in Jerusalem

Shout in Jerusalem

Pray in Jerusalem

High up in Jerusalem when I die.

Hmm, when I get down to the river

I’m gonna stick my sword in the sand

For I spy the ol' ship of Zion

Who took a-many to the Promised Land

Way over in Buelah

Where there ain’t no dying there

Where the saints shoutin' victory

Oh, they singin', Lord, everywhere

Way over in Buelah

I hear the voice of friends I’ve known

They been gone on, gone on to Glory

Well, well a long time ago

They been waitin'

They been watchin'

They been waitin' at the beautiful gates

And one day I’m gonna meet them

Oh, I’m gonna sing forever more

Way over in Buelah

I see the Captain beckoned to me Well, he’s callin' all God’s chirrun'

Oh, to meet him on the Promised Land.

God knows I’m gonna

Walk in Jerusalem

Talk in Jerusalem

Sing in Jerusalem

Be in Jerusalem

High up, oh, in Jerusalem

When I die, Oh yeah

Well, be in Jerusalem

Sing in Jerusalem

Shout in Jerusalem

Sing in Jerusalem

High up, oh, in Jerusalem

When I die.
