St. James' bed
I hear way down in New Orleans
They heal suffering
And take away disease
It will all evaporate from your soul
I haven't seen it
But I've been told
Put all that sorrow in a tune
Hum it softly and call it blue
Clap your hands and raise your head
Bring your spirit down to St. James' bed
Oh, my sweet friend
We're all going down to the river's end
And wash our dirty hands clean
In the songs of our loneliest ghost's release
All those street lights that burn so bright
Will watch over us through the night
And place your heart over hand
It's our gospel, and you're my hymn
Gonna feel that fire
Gonna feel that fire inside
Let it burn us up
Burn us white
Oh, my sweet friend
Ain't you coming down to the river's end
And wash ourselves so clean
In the memories we find in those streams
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Oh, my sweet friend
Ain't you coming down to the river's end
They heal suffering
And take away disease
It will all evaporate from your soul
I haven't seen it
But I've been told
Put all that sorrow in a tune
Hum it softly and call it blue
Clap your hands and raise your head
Bring your spirit down to St. James' bed
Oh, my sweet friend
We're all going down to the river's end
And wash our dirty hands clean
In the songs of our loneliest ghost's release
All those street lights that burn so bright
Will watch over us through the night
And place your heart over hand
It's our gospel, and you're my hymn
Gonna feel that fire
Gonna feel that fire inside
Let it burn us up
Burn us white
Oh, my sweet friend
Ain't you coming down to the river's end
And wash ourselves so clean
In the memories we find in those streams
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Oh, my sweet friend
Ain't you coming down to the river's end
