I'm going down to the river, gonna 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 going down to the river, gonna wash my soul again
I'm going out to the country, gonna bury my head in the creek
I'm gonna jump in that water, baptize both my feet
'Cause everywhere I've been walking, I've been getting in trouble deep
I'm going down to the river, gonna wash my soul again
Well, this whole world's going to hell in a handbasket
If I don't get me some restoration soon
Gonna end up in a casket
Yeah
Well, this whole world's going to hell in a handbasket
If I don't get me some restoration soon
Gonna end up in a casket
I'm going down to the river, gonna 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 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
