Ella Jenkins - African-American Folk Rhythms

Wade in the Water

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

Now Jordan's water is chilly and cold
God's gonna trouble the water
It chills the body but not the 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

Now Jordan's water is deep and wide
God's gonna trouble the water
Now meet my mother on the other side
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 get there before I do
God's gonna trouble the water
Tell my friends I'm comin' to
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
Wade in the water
Wade in the water children
Wade in the water
God's gonna trouble the water
