The River

Sweet baby child won't you witness for me I've been condemned honey Lord, they threw away the key My own conscious mind is falling under attack The Devil's throwin' bones right behind my back Hearts are burning Full of your worst design Surely we're learning Oh Lord, won't you give me a sign Go down to the river Come bring us your pain Go down to the river Come wash it all away Comin' to you while you're twisted and meek My name is Lucy, oh baby, I wanna be your queen Come bring with you your sin and pride Come sit with me at my side Oh Lucy, you sound so sweet Think I better go tot his river; there's just a man for me to meet Go down to the river Come bring us your pain Go down to the river Come wash it all away Goin' down Goin' down Oh Lord, I'm goin' down Go down to the river Come bring us your pain Go down to the river Come wash it all away
