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.

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.
