Going Down to the River – Doug Seegers

#1.
  Am
I’m going down to the river
   Dm            Am
to wash my soul again.
          Dm
I’ve been runnin' with the devil
                             Am
and I know that he’s not my friend
           Dm
I’ve been fallin' by the wayside
                        Am
livin' in this world of sins
          F
I’m going down to the river
      E            Am
gonna wash my soul again.

          Am
I’m going down to the river
   Dm                  Am
to bury my head in the creek
          Dm
I’m gonna jump into that water
                Am
baptize both my feet.
        Dm
‘Cause everywhere I’ve been walking
                              Am
I’ve been getting in trouble deep.
           F
I’m going down to the river
       E            Am
gonna wash my soul again.

Dm
Well, this whole world's going to hell
     Am 
In a handbasket
     Dm
If I don’t get some resurrection soon
    E                          Am
I’m gonna end up in a casket, whohohohoo
