Help me escape from this deserted sea
Lord I think that the devil might be after me
I don't want to waste my integrity
I just a man livin' a one night stand, I tell you what you need
Oh, black creek, take me to the place
Wash my sins away
Oh, black creek, take me to the place
Wash my sins away
Just a little taste, that's all I need
Fruitful harvest in a wicked garden off a forbidden tree
A simple scheme from judging fate
Simple as it may be, it's more than I can take
Oh, black creek, take me to the place
Wash my sins away
Oh, black creek, take me to the place
Wash my sins away
Guitar man, play me a tune
I got one foot tappin' and nothing to lose I'm lose
I don't what to be found
The end for me could be comin' real soon
I'd like a glass of tea mixed with a sassafras root and a bread of higher ground
Oh, black creek, take me to the place
Wash my sins away
Oh, black creek, take me to the place
Wash my sins away, won't you wash my sins away
