I'm going down to the river to wash my soul again
I 've been runnin with the Devil ,and I know he's not my Friend
I've been falling by this wayside , livin in this world of sin
I'm going down to the river , gonna wash my soul again
I'm going out to the country , to bury my head in a creek
I'm gonna jump into that water , baptize both my feet
Cause everywhere I've been walking
I've been getting in trouble deep
Going down to the river , gonna wash my soul again
Well this whole world is going to Hell in a hand basket
If I don't get some resurrection soon
I 'm going to end up in a Casket
Well --- Whooo
BREAK
Well this whole world is going to Hell in a hand basket
If I don't get some resurrection soon
I 'm going to end up in a Casket
I'm going down to the river to wash my soul again
I 've been runnin with the Devil ,and I know he's not my Friend
I've been falling by this wayside , livin in this world of sin
I'm going down to the river , gonna wash my soul again
I'm going down to the river , gonna wash my soul again
I'm going down to the river , gonna wash my soul again
I'm going down to the river , gonna wash my soul again
