Nothing But The Water (I)

I have tried to find my way To make it through to a better day I have cried a mighty song But in the morning everything was gone So come on water, sweet water, wash me down So come on water, sweet water, wash me down I have tried so many times To put out the devil's fire But every time I sit down to pray The devil's charm pulls me away So come on water, sweet water, wash me down Come on water, sweet water, wash me down Up in heaven, they know the rule You?ve got to get down to the bathing pool Everybody, you?ve got to get in line Down at the river, we?re doing fine With the water, sweet water, wash me down Come on water, sweet water, wash me down Now I?m ready, it?s my time If I give a nickel, I might get a dime Only the water can help me now I?ll find glory somewhere, somehow With the water, sweet water, wash me down Come on water, sweet water, wash me down Tried my hand at the Bible Tried my hand at prayer But now nothing but the water Is gonna bring my soul to bare I tried my hand at the Bible Tried my hand at prayer But now nothing but the water Is gonna bring my soul to bare I tried my hand at the Bible Tried my hand at prayer But now nothing but the water Is gonna bring my soul to bare I tried my hand at the Bible Tried my hand at prayer
