lyrics

I WENT DOWN TO THE RIVER TO WASH MY SINS AWAY
AND THAT PREACHER, HE TOOK ONE LOOK AT ME AND HE TURNED ME AWAY
I DON’T KNOW WHERE YOU’RE GOIN’ BUT I SURE KNOW WHERE YOU BEEN
AND AIN’T ENOUGH DIRTY WATER IN THE WHOLE DAMN WORLD TO WAS AWAY YOUR SINS

I WENT ON DOWN TO THE CITY TO FIND A WAY TO PAY
AND THAT UNION MAN, HE LOOKED ME UP AND DOWN AND HE TURNED ME AWAY
I DON’T CARE WHERE YOU’RE GOIN’ BUT I SURE KNOW WHERE YOU BEEN
AND I’LLBE DAMNED IF I GIVE YOU A JOB. I BETTER NEVER SEE YOU AGAIN.

IT’S TRUE I SEEN SOME HARD TIMES AND I’VE KNOWN BAD COMPANY
BUT WHAT I DO WITH MY OWN DAMN LIFE, THAT’S BETWEEN MY MAKER AND ME
I MIGHT GO OUT TO CALIFORNIA. I MIGHT GO DOWN TO MEXICO.
I MIGHT GO DOWN TO HELL, SHAKE HANDS WITH THE DEVIL
AND MAKE MYSELF RIGHT AT HOME
I LOOKED UP TO THE HEAVENS AND I RAISED MY HANDS-ON HIGH
AND I SAID SWEET JESUS IF YOU’RE LOOKIN’ AT ME, WON’T YOU PLEASE GIVE ME A SIGN
AND THAT’S WHEN THE CLOUDS THEY PARTED, AND THE SUNSHINE HIT MY FACE
AND I KNEW THEN AND THERE THAT NO MATTER WHAT I DID, I’D ALWAYS FIND SOME GRACE

IT’S TRUE I SEEN SOME HARD TIMES AND I’VE KNOWN BAD COMPANY
BUT WHAT I DO WITH MY OWN DAMN LIFE, THAT’S BETWEEN MY MAKER AND ME
I MIGHT GO OUT TO CALIFORNIA. I MIGHT GO DOWN TO MEXICO.
I MIGHT GO DOWN TO HELL, SHAKE HANDS WITH THE DEVIL
AND MAKE MYSELF RIGHT AT HOME
