[Verse #1]
I’Amm going down to the river
to Dmwash my soul aAmgain.

livin' in this world of Amsins
I’m going Fdown to the river
gonna Ewash my soul Amagain.
[Verse #2]
I’m going Amdown to the river
to Dmbury my head in the Amcreek
I’m gonna Dmjump into that water
baptize both my Amfeet.
‘Cause eDmverywhere I’ve been walking

I’m going dFown to the river
gonna wEash my soul aAmgain.
