Wade In The Water

Wade in the Water, Wade in the Water, Children.
Wade in the Water. My God's gonna trouble the water.
If you hear tell of me dying, I don't want nobody to cry.
All I want you to do for me is just to close my dying eyes
Wade in the Water, Wade in the Water, Children.
Wade in the Water. My God's gonna trouble the water.
In my ying hour, I don't want nobody to mourn.
All I want you to do for me is just give that bell a tone.
Wade in the Water, Wade in the Water, Children.
Wade in the Water. My God's gonna trouble the water.
When I'm getting lonely. Well, I'm gonna shake my mother's hand
I'm gonna tell her all about my troubles while travelling through this lands
Wade in the Water, Wade in the Water, Children.
Wade in the Water. My God's gonna trouble the water
