(Chorus)
|
Wade in the water.
|
Wade in the water, children.
|
Wade in the water.
|
God's gonna trouble the water.
|
|
|
Jordon's water is chilly and cold.
|
God's gonna trouble the water.
|
It chills the body, but not the soul.
|
God's gonna trouble the water.
|
|
|
If you get there before I do.
|
God's gonna trouble the water.
|
Tell all of my friends I'm coming too.
|
God's gonna trouble the water.
