Lyrics
well the preacher said follow me boy
i've got some place i gotta go
yeah just up the road and thru the trees
where the alligators go
no matter what you've done, or where you've been
you're always welcome there
yeah it's a little ten out on the shore
in the middle of nowhere
come on boy
gonna take you down to the river put your head in the water
and your sins will be washed away
gonna take you down to the river put your head in the water
and your sins will be washed away
well he shoved me down into the drink
and i could not see a thing
oh when he pulled me out i saw all these people
clap and start to sing
no matter what you've done, or where you've been
you're always welcome here
and then i saw a big light come from the sky
and it all came crystal clear
gonna take you down to the river put your head in the water
and your sins will be washed away
gonna take you down to the river put your head in the water
and your sins will be washed away
Day and NIght your hand is heavy on me
Oh my strength is withered in the summer heat
