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
