Oh Lord, can you help a brother Oh Lord, I’ve been a sinner Oh Lord, I need salvation Oh Lord, can you help me find my way
Water can make us clean I wanna be dirty
I went down to the railroad To buy myself a seat Wanna leave this city Get away from the peoples screams I thought I had a problem That’s until I saw him He was a cussin and a drinkin He made people get up and leave
If I’m living here tomorrow I’m not living for the day I ain’t going down the dirt road I’d sooner not live that way
Oh Lord, I went down to the river Oh Lord, to wash my face in forgotten dreams Oh Lord, gonna poison my liver Oh Lord, float face down in the stream
