Follow me down to the river, hey
Follow me out of the woods
Follow me in, to wash away my sins
The view up here’s no good
Follow me down to the river, hey
To follow me here’s no good
I’m goin’ in, where the water lives
Couldn’t stop me if you could
Take me down, to the river
Where the water’s clean
And the blood runs red
Take me down, to the river
Wash me in the water
Take me to the bottom
Take me down, to the river
Where the water’s clean
And the blood runs red
Take me down, to the river
Wash me in the water
Take me to the bottom
Follow me down to the river, hey
Take a drink, it’s good
Heaven knows, where the water flows
The view from here’s no good
Follow me down to the river bed
Into the open waves
Come and cleanse at the water’s edge
And wash the stains away
Take me down, to the river
Where the water’s clean
And the blood runs red
Take me down, to the river
Wash me in the water
Take me to the bottom
