Nothing But the Water (I)

Lyrics

I have seen what man can do When the evil lives inside of you Many are the weak, and the strong are few But with the water, we'll start anew Won't you take me down to the levy? Take me down to the stream Take me down to the water We're gonna wash our souls clean Take me down to the river Take me down to the lake Yes, we'll all go together We're gonna do it for the good Lord's sake I have fallen so many times For the devil's sweet cunning rhymes And this old world has brought me pain But there's hope for me again Well, won't you take me down to the levy? Take me down to the stream Take me down to the water We're gonna wash our souls clean Take me down to the river Take me down to the lake Yes, we'll all go together We're gonna do it for the good Lord's sake I tried my hand at the Bible Tried my hand at prayer But now nothing but the water Is gonna bring my soul to bear But now nothing but the water Is gonna bring my soul to bear
