Wade in the water
Wade in the water children
Wade in the water
God’s gonna trouble the water
Who’s all those children all dressed in red?
God’s gonna trouble the water
Must be the ones that Moses led
God’s gonna trouble the water
Wade in the water
Wade in the water children
Wade in the water
God’s gonna trouble the water
Well out of the mountain come fire an' smoke
God's a-gonna trouble the water
Jehovah nobody be he could've spoke
God's a-gonna trouble the water
Wade in the water
Wade in the water, children
Wade in the water
God's a-gonna trouble the water
God's a-gonna trouble the water
Well, I'm walkin' down the highway an' the water's gettin' low
God's a-gonna trouble the water
Walkin' down the highway, nowhere to go
God's a-gonna trouble the water
But it's wade in the water
Wade in the water, children
Wade in the water
God's a-gonna trouble the water
God's a-gonna trouble the water
God's a-gonna trouble the water
