I have seen what man can do When the evil lives inside of you Many are the weak And the strong are few But with the water We'll start anew
Well, won't you take me down to the levy, take me down to the stream, take my down to the water, we're gonna wash our souls clean, take me down to the river, take me down to the lake, Yes, we'll all go together, we're gonna do it for the good lord's sake
I have fallen so many times For the devil's sweet, cunning rhymes And this old world Has brought me pain But there's hope For me again
Well, won't you take me down to the levy, take me down to the stream, take my down to the water, we're gonna wash our souls clean, take me down to the river, take me down to the lake, Yes, we'll all go together, we're gonna do it for the good lord's sake
Tried my hand at the bible, tried my hand at prayer, but now nothing but the water is gonna bring my soul to bare, but now nothing but the water is gonna bring my soul to bare
