I'm goin' down to the river
To wash my soul again
I've been runnin' with the Devil
And I know that he's not my friend
I've been falling by the wayside
Livin' in this world of sin
I'm goin' down to the river
Gonna wash my soul again
I'm goin' out to the country
To bury my head in the creek
I'm gonna jump into that water
Baptize both my feet
'Cause everywhere I've been walking
I've been getting in trouble deep
I'm goin' down to the river
Gonna wash my soul again
Well, this whole worlds is going
to Hell in a handbasket
If I don't get some restoration son
I'm gonna end up in a casket
I'm goin' down to the river
To wash my soul again
I've been runnin' with the Devil
And I know that he's not my friend
I've been falling by the wayside
Livin' in this world of sin
I'm goin' down to the river
Gonna wash my soul again
I'm goin' down to the river
Gonna wash my soul again
I'm goin' down to the river
Gonna wash my soul again
To wash my soul again
I've been runnin' with the Devil
And I know that he's not my friend
I've been falling by the wayside
Livin' in this world of sin
I'm goin' down to the river
Gonna wash my soul again
I'm goin' out to the country
To bury my head in the creek
I'm gonna jump into that water
Baptize both my feet
'Cause everywhere I've been walking
I've been getting in trouble deep
I'm goin' down to the river
Gonna wash my soul again
Well, this whole worlds is going
to Hell in a handbasket
If I don't get some restoration son
I'm gonna end up in a casket
I'm goin' down to the river
To wash my soul again
I've been runnin' with the Devil
And I know that he's not my friend
I've been falling by the wayside
Livin' in this world of sin
I'm goin' down to the river
Gonna wash my soul again
I'm goin' down to the river
Gonna wash my soul again
I'm goin' down to the river
Gonna wash my soul again
