Oh Lord, won't you give me a sign
[Chorus]
Go down to the river
Come bring us your pain
Go down to the river
Come wash it all away
[Verse 2]
Comin' to you while you're twisted and meek
My name is Lucy, oh baby, I wanna be your queen
Come bring with you your sin and pride
Come sit with me at my side
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh Lucy, you sound so sweet
Think I better go tot his river; there's just a man for me to meet
[Chorus]
Go down to the river
Come bring us your pain
Go down to the river
Come wash it all away
[Bridge]
Goin' down x8
Goin' down x8
Oh Lord, I'm goin' down
[Chorus]
Go down to the river
Come bring us your pain
Go down to the river
Come wash it all away
