CThey were down by the Griver on that DLincoln CoGunty shore
CSinging Peace In The GValley and preDaching up a Gstorm
GThere was a crowd gathered down by the river
Where me and Benny Thompson used to play
CI wondered if they had enough a water
To wash old Lester HarperG's sins away
Cause I Dheard Miss Ida whisper he's toGo lost to save
GWell they would sing and it would rain and it was frightening
Some things are hard to understand when you're eight
CI can still hear the thunder and see the lightning
When Preacher Hayes raised his Ghands to pray
I could Dfeel my body tremble cause GI was so afraid
CYeah they were down by the Griver on that DLincoln CounGty shore
CSinging Peace In The GValley and prDeaching up a Gstorm
[Instrumental]
C G D G C G D G
GI was there but I could barely hear the sermon
I was scared and didn't care to get up close
CI heard him tell 'em something was a burning
And then he shouted something abGout a ghost
And when they Dwalked down in the water
Sister Harper hollered Gplease don't let him go
CWell they were down by the Griver on that DLincoln CountGy shore
CSinging Peace In The GValley and Dpreaching up a Gstorm
CThey were down by the Griver on that LDincoln CountGy shore
CSinging Peace In The GValley and Dpreaching up a Gstorm
CThey were down by the Griver on that DLincoln CountGy shore
SCinging Peace In The GValley and Dpreaching up a Gstorm
