I've done a bad thing, it's okay I'm going down to the river today
[Bm] And the river's gonna wash my sins away Till I'm born again [F#] tomorrow
[C#] Water get over my head [Bm] Make me forget [F#] my sorrow
I'm going down to the river alone Don't tell mama and daddy I'm gone
[B] And if they cry when I don't come home Just lie and tell [F#] them I'm running
[C#] Water get out of my eyes [Bm] Into the river wide [F#] I'm running
And I [Bm] can't swim, but it's alright Cause all [C#] my sin would drag me down even if [F#] I could
And it would work [Bm] for him And the love [F#] that I have
I'd [C#] be living for the light like a good girl should Cause a good [F#] girl should
This old time will hide my skin I can't speak the trouble I'm in
[Bm] So if I don't come back again I'll go lie beneath [F#] the willow
[C#] Cause where I carved my name [Bm] Is where my soul will remain and [F#] I'll still go
Lord and I [Bm] can't swim, but [F#] it's alright Cause all my [C#] sin would [D#m] drag me down [F#] even if I could
And it would work [Bm] for him And the love [F#] that I have

When I meet the Lord so kind I'm gonna give him peace of my mind
[Bm] And I'll tell him I wanna know why oh why When he's [F#] so forgiving
And my [C#] daddy won't look in my eyes [Bm] And mama knows the lies [F#] I'm living
Lord and I [Bm] can't swim, but it's [F#] alright Cause [C#] all my sin would drag me down even if I [F#] could
And it [G#] would work [Bm] for him And the love [F#] that I have
