I’m a-going to join the band
Hallelujah
I’m a-going to join the band
Can’t you sing it
I’m a-going to join the band
O Lord
I’m a-going to join the band
The more come in with a free good will
Make the band seem sweeter still

I’m a-going to join the band
Hallelujah
I’m a-going to join the band
Can’t you sing it
I’m a-going to join the band
O Lord
I’m a-going to join the band
Jordan’s stream is chilly and cold
If you don’t mind, it’ll chill your soul

I’m a-going to join the band
Hallelujah
I’m a-going to join the band
Can’t you sing it
I’m a-going to join the band
O Lord
I’m a-going to join the band
Watch that sun, how steady she runs
Don’t let her catch you with your work undone

I’m a-going to join the band
Hallelujah
I’m a-going to join the band
Can’t you sing it
I’m a-going to join the band
O Lord
I’m a-going to join the band
Joshua prayed for to stop the sun
The sun did stop till the battle was won

I’m a-going to join the band
Hallelujah
I’m a-going to join the band
Can’t you sing it
I’m a-going to join the band
O Lord
I’m a-going to join the band
Going to hang my harp on the willow tree
It’ll sound way over in Galilee
