Holy John lives down by the water
|
Saving sinners and he wants your dollar
|
Tell the people that they'd better repent
|
Telling your daughter it was him who was sent
|
I saw him down there in a long white gown
|
Taking sinners and holding them down
|
|
John, John, won't you wash 'em away
|
Make us ready for the Judgement Day
|
Take us down and hold us under
|
Make the heavens roar with thunder, now
|
|
The waters are dirty and the reason is
|
Holy John had to wash away our sins
|
Yes he did
|
|
He came to town two weeks ago
|
Didn't take long before everyone did know
|
Down to the riverside they all did flock
|
And watch him stand upon the rock
|
I saw him down there in a long white gown
|
Taking sinners and holding them down
|
|
John, John, won't you wash 'em away
|
Make us ready for the Judgement Day
|
Take us down and hold us under
|
Make the heavens roar with thunder, now
|
|
The waters are dirty and the reason is
|
Holy John had to wash away our sins
|
Oh yes he did
|
See that the water's dirty
|
And everybody knows that the reason is
|
Holy John has to wash away, wash away, wash away everybodys' sins
|
