O this is the healing water, water, water,
O this is the healing water, be baptized;
It's a-flowing from the fountain, fountain, fountain,
It's a-flowing from the fountain, be baptized.

Run along, mourner,
Run along, mourner, be baptized. [Chorus]

Run along, sinner,
Run along, sinner, be baptized. [Chorus]

3 Run along, gambler,
Run along, gambler,
Run along, gambler, be baptized. [Chorus]
