THE BLIND BOYS OF ALABAMA
"Wade In The Water"
(Traditional)

Wade in the Water, Wade in the Water, Children
Wade in the Water. My God's gonna trouble the water

If you hear tell of me dying, I don't want nobody to cry
All I want you to do for me is just to close my dying eyes

Wade in the Water, Wade in the Water, Children
Wade in the Water. My God's gonna trouble the water

In my ying hour, I don't want nobody to mourn
All I want you to do for me is just give that bell a tone

Wade in the Water, Wade in the Water, Children
Wade in the Water. My God's gonna trouble the water

When I'm getting lonely
Well, I'm gonna shake my mother's hand
I'm gonna tell her all about my troubles
While travelling through this land

Wade in the Water, Wade in the Water, Children
Wade in the Water. My God's gonna trouble the water
