Lyrics
Dirty Jordan, lying in the sun
with her grave shroud on
Crooked curves on broken banks
what have we done?
Can you wash clean this dirty water
can you drench down these thirsty lands
can you wade through this Holy River
Till you’ve healed the hands of dirty Jordan
Old Man River, crawling through the land
with his soul sucked dry
It’s a long way home through stone and sand
can you afford to cry?
Can you wash clean this dirty water
can you drench down these thirsty lands
can you wade through this Holy River
Till you’ve healed the hands of dirty Jordan
Dirty Jordan, waiting for the Son,
who was baptised by you
A drop of blood from his flowing veins
And he will baptize you
Can you wash clean this dirty water
can you drench down these thirsty lands
can you wade through this Holy River
Till you’ve healed the hands of dirty Jordan
