129. Wade in the Water

Refrain:
Wade in the water,
wade in the water, children,
Wade in the water,
God’s a-gonna trouble the water.
Wade in the water,
wade in the water, children,
Wade in the water,
God’s a-gonna trouble the water.

1 See that band all dressed in white --
God’s a-gonna trouble the water.
The leader looks like an Israelite --
God’s a-gonna trouble the water. [Refrain]

2 See that band all dressed in red --
God’s a-gonna trouble the water.
It looks like the band that Moses led --
God’s a-gonna trouble the water. [Refrain]
