I have tried to find my way
To make it through to a better day
I have cried a mighty song
But in the morning everything was gone
So come on water, sweet water, wash me down
So come on water, sweet water, wash me down
I have tried so many times
To put out the devils fire
But every time I sit down to pray
The devils charm pulls me away
So come on water, sweet water, wash me down
So come on water, sweet water, wash me down
Up in Heaven, they know the rule
You've got to get down to the bathing pool
Everybody, you've got to get in line
Down at the river, we're doing fine
With the water, sweet water, wash me down
Come on water, sweet water, wash me down
Now I'm ready and it's my time
And if I give a nickel, I might get a dime
Only the water can help me now
I'll find glory somewhere, somehow
With the water, sweet water, wash me down
Come on water, sweet water, wash me down
Tried my hand at the bible, tried my hand at the prayer, but now nothing but the water is gonna bring my soul to bare.
Tried my hand at the bible, tried my hand at the prayer, but now nothing but the water is gonna bring my soul to bare.
