Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I'm going down to the river, gonna wash my soul again

I been runnin' with the Devil, and I know that he's not my friend

I been fallin' by the wayside, livin' in this world of sin

I'm going down to the river, gonna wash my soul again

[Verse 2]

I'm goin' out to the country, gonna bury my head in the creek

I'm gonna jump in that water and baptize both of my feet

'Cause everywhere I've been walkin', I been gettin' in trouble deep

I'm going down to the river, gonna wash my soul again

[Verse 3]

Well, this whole world's goin' to hell in a hand basket

If I don't get me some restoration soon

Gonna end up in a casket

[Verse 4]

Well, this whole world's goin' to hell in a hand basket

If I don't get me some restoration soon

Gonna end up in a casket

[Verse 5]

I'm going down to the river, gonna wash my soul again

I been runnin' with the Devil, and I know that he's not my friend

I been fallin' by the wayside, livin' in this world of sin

I'm going down to the river, gonna wash my soul again

I'm going down to the river, gonna wash my soul again

I'm going down to the river, gonna wash my soul again
