­ Traditional
John said the city was just foursquare.
Walking in Jerusalem, just like John.
And he declared that he'd meet me there.
Walking in Jerusalem, just like John.
(Chorus:)
I want to be ready, I want to be ready,
I want to be ready
to walk in Jerusalem just like John
When Peter was preaching at the Pentecost,
Walking in Jerusalem, just like John.
He was endowed with the Holy Ghost.
Walking in Jerusalem, just like John.
(Chorus)

I'm sometimes up and I'm sometimes down.
Walking in Jerusalem, just like John.
Still my soul is heavenly bound.
Walking in Jerusalem, just like John.
(Chorus)
Oh John, Oh John, what do you say?
Walking in Jerusalem, just like John.
I'll be there at the coming day!
Walking in Jerusalem, just like John.
(Chorus)
