The Gospel (According to Fishermen)

5 views

Lyrics

I was raised in the house of a real holy roller
 Warn the people 'bout the wages of the sin
 He said, "Go out out yonder to the water and travel
 'Cause disciples they were fishers of men
 Yeah, disciples, they were fishers and men
 So I got me a job on the first boat rowin'
 And it's been a mighty long time
 Since I sat in the house of my father and my mother
 Or I seen that woman of mine
 Yeah, that good lovin' gal of mine
 I said, "Babe I'm a-goin' on a little bitty journey
 I'll be back when the fishin 'is through
 While I'm away, make haste to get ready
 For when Jesus comes for you"
 When the good Lord comes for you
 When Jesus comes for you, here it comes
 ♪
 Sayin' shall we gather by the water, the beautiful water
 Shall we gather by the water that flows from the throne of God
 ♪
 Well truth, it lies in the love of a woman
 Lord don't sink this boat
 I got a pretty little thing waiting in New Orleans
 With a dagger buy her throat
 And she don't wanna do it, but she's that crazy
 And if I don't make it back
 She'll probably die alone and cold
 As the Creole night turns black
 Sayin shall we gather by the water, the beautiful water
 Shall we gather by the water that flows from the throne of God
 ♪
 Shall we gather by the water, the beautiful water
 Shall we gather by the water that flows from the throne of God
