Lyrics
Jimi’s Hymn
M. Litton / Roger Holden
I’m gonna swim that river, I’m gonna make it home
I’m gonna leave the devil standin’ all alone
I know I been a sinner all through my whole life
I’m gonna swim that river to the other side...
I see the angels dancin’ up on yonder hill
All dressed in gold n’ glory
Be there if you will
All singin’ Hallelujah! All singin’ Hallelujah, O Lord!
All singin’ Hallelujah! All singin’ Hallelujah, O Lord!
Hey Joe, c’mon in now, sit down by the fire
That’s how the devil tempt you when you’re gittin’ tired
I heard the wind cry “Mary!” in the evil night
I heard the wind cry “Mary!” and stepped into the light
I see my baby waitin’ up on yonder hill
She looks just like an angel, she’s my baby still
All singin’ Hallelujah! All singin’ Hallelujah, O Lord!
All singin’ Hallelujah! All singin’ Hallelujah, O Lord!
Gonna rock on to Heaven arm in arm
Gonna rock on to Heaven, oh yeah!
All singin’ Hallelujah! All singin’ Hallelujah, O Lord!
All singin’ Hallelujah! All singin’ Hallelujah, O Lord!
Rock on to Heaven, rock on to Heaven
Rock on to Heaven, O Lord! Rock on!
I’m gonna swim that river, I’m gonna make it home
I’m gonna leave the devil standin’ all alone...
