Wade In The Water    (1901)

Wade in the water
Wade in the water, children
Wade in the water
God's gonna trouble the water

Who's that young girl dressed in red
Wadin' in the water?
Must be the children that Moses led
God's gonna trouble the water

Wade in the water
Wade in the water, children
Wade in the water
God's gonna trouble the water

Who's that young girl dressed in white
Wadin' in the water?
Must be the children of the Israelites
God's gonna trouble the water

Wade in the water
Wade in the water, children
Wade in the water
God's gonna trouble the water

Who's that young girl dressed in blue
Wadin' in the water?
Must be the children that's coming through
God's gonna trouble the water

Wade in the water
Wade in the water, children
Wade in the water
God's gonna trouble the water

If you don't believe I've been redeemed
Wade in the water
Just see the Holy Ghost is lookin' for me
God's gonna trouble the water

Wade in the water
Wade in the water, children
Wade in the water
God's gonna trouble the water

I stepped in water, and the water was cold
God's gonna trouble the water
Said it chilled my body, but not my soul
God's gonna trouble the water

Wade in the water
Wade in the water, children
Wade in the water
God's gonna trouble the water

Well, I went to the water one day to pray
God's gonna trouble the water
And my soul got happy, and I stayed all day
God's gonna trouble the water

Wade in the water
Wade in the water, children
Wade in the water
God's gonna trouble the water
