Wade in the Water 
Wade in the Water, children
wade in the Wate
God's gonna trouble the Water 

Who's that yonder dressed in red 
Wade in the Water 
Must be the Children that Moses led 
And God's gonna trouble the Water 

Refrain 

Who's that yonder dressed in white 
Wade in the Water 
Must be the Children of the Israelites
God's gonna trouble the Water 

Refrain 

Who's that yonder dressed in blue 
Wade in the Water 
Must be [bad word] through 
And God's gonna trouble the Water 

Refrain 

If you don't believe I've been redeemed
Wade in the Water 
Just see the holy ghost looking for me 
God's gonna trouble the Water
