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
(CHORUS)
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 devil's fire
But every time, I sit down to pray,
The devil's charm, pulls me away
Chorus (x1)
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
(REFRAIN)
With the water, sweet water, wash me down
Come on water, sweet water, wash me down
Now I'm ready, it's my time
If I give a nickel, I might get a dime
Only the water, can help me now
I'll find glory, somewhere somehow
Refrain (x1)
Tried my hand at the bible,
Tried my hand at the prayer,
But now nothing but the water,
Is gonna bring my soul to bear,
(repeat once, repeat to fade)
