I have seen what man can do
|
When the evil lives inside of you
|
Many are the weak
|
And the strong are few
|
But with the water
|
We'll start anew
|
|
Well, won't you take me down to the levy, take me down to the stream, take my down to the water,
|
we're gonna wash our souls clean, take me down to the river, take me down to the lake,
|
Yes, we'll all go together, we're gonna do it for the good lord's sake
|
|
I have fallen so many times
|
For the devil's sweet, cunning rhymes
|
And this old world
|
Has brought me pain
|
But there's hope
|
For me again
|
|
Well, won't you take me down to the levy, take me down to the stream, take my down to the water,
|
we're gonna wash our souls clean, take me down to the river, take me down to the lake,
|
Yes, we'll all go together, we're gonna do it for the good lord's sake
|
|
Tried my hand at the bible, tried my hand at prayer, but now nothing but the water is gonna bring my soul to bare,
|
but now nothing but the water is gonna bring my soul to bare
|
