River - Maya B

…and who shall wear the starry crown

Good Lord, show me the way

Oh sisters, let’s go down

Let’s go down, come on down

Oh sisters, let’s go down

Down to the river to pray

I go down to the river to pray

Study about that good old way

I made a mistake

I’ll wash it off

They say I’m astray

Am I bitter now?

The words, they turn

They mock me

They peak, they breathe

They haunt me

I go down to the river to pray

Study about that good old way, I’ll wash it off

I go down to the river to pray

Study about that good old way

I’m dependable

Until I dissolve

Dirty, black & blue

Callin' after you

Through wounds that grew

Your halos

They’re my witness

I go down to the river to pray

Study about that good old way (I'll wash it off)

I go down to the river to pray

Study about that good old way

I’ll wash it off
