Take Me To The Water

Take me to the water.
Take me to the sea.
Take me to the river so that my spirit can be free.

Gonna lay my burdens down, down by the riverside.
Gonna wade in the water, the water that flows both deep and wide.
Oh, take me, take me, take me to the water.

Gonna lay down my burden, down by the riverside.
Down by the riverside.
Down by the riverside.
Down by the riverside.
Gonna lay down my burden, down by the riverside.
Oh, take me, take me, take me, to the water.

Gonna lay down my sword and shield, down by the riverside.
Down by the riverside.
Down by the riverside.
Down by the riverside.
Gonna lay down my sword and shield, down by the riverside.

Oh, take me, take me, take me, to the water.

Wade in the water. Wade in the water, children. Wade in the water.

Wade in the, wade in the, wade in the water, children.
Wade in the, wade in the, wade in the water, children.
Wade in the, wade in the, wade in the water, children.

God's a-gonna trouble the water.

Oh, oh, oh! Take me to the water! Take me to the sea!
Take me to the water! Set my spirit free! Oh!

Wade! Wade in the water, children and set my spirit free! Oh!

Down by the riverside. Down by the riverside. Down by the riverside.
Down by the riverside.
Down by the riverside. Down by the riverside, I'll...

Set my spirit free! Oh!

Take me, take me, take me, to the water. Oh!
Take me, take me, take me, to the water!
