"Roll, Jordan, Roll" (#Roud 6697), also "Roll, Jordan", is a #spiritual created by enslaved African Americans, developed from a song written by #IsaacWatts in the 18th century which became well known among #slaves in the United States during the 19th century. Appropriated as a coded message for escape, by the end of the #AmericanCivilWar it had become known through much of the eastern United States. In the 19th century, it #helped inspire #blues.
