Don't You Hear Jerusalem Moan

Lyrics: Traditional
Music:


Played by the Good Old Boys in 1975, with Jerry Garcia sitting in on banjo at one show. It is credited to Don Reno on the Pistol Packin' Mama album, but various recordings - with various different lyrics - date back to the 1920s

Well I went to church last Sunday morning
Don’t you hear Jerusalem moan
Heard all those sinners a-moaning and a-groaning
Don’t you hear Jerusalem moan

Chorus
Don’t you hear Jerusalem moan
Don’t you hear Jerusalem moan
The souls are singing and the joy bells ringing
Don’t you hear Jerusalem moan

Well you'd better go to church today
Don’t you hear Jerusalem moan
And let Jesus wash you sins away
Don’t you hear Jerusalem moan

[chorus]

Well you'd better get on your knees today
Don’t you hear Jerusalem moan
And let Jesus wash you sins away
Don’t you hear Jerusalem moan

[chorus]

[chorus]
