A#m F A#m A#m F A#m A#m I said Oh brother, lets go down Fm A#m Lets  go down, won't you come on down Oh  brother, lets go down, F7 A#m Down to the river to pray. A#m No satisfaction for this bastard child, F A#m Had  me running in circles, while the fire burns wild A#m Going  face to face, with the dead and wrong F7 A#m The Devil said I couldn't hang around anymore. A#m Oh, my  tears they could fill a bucket of sin, F7 A#m I wondered, how'd I fall into the mess that I'm in A#m So I came to the world, and everything thats its got, F7 A#m Thought I had handle, but the handle got hot. A#m I went down to the river to pray F7 A#m Studying about that good ol' way, And you should wear the robe and crown F7 A#m Good lord won't you show me the way, Oh brother, lets go down F7 A#m Lets go down, won't you come on down Whoa brother, lets go down F7 A#m Down to the river to pray. A#m This sweet young philly with her lips painted red F7 A#m She put her eyes on my soul then she grabbed on my hand, Said "I got just the thing that'll cure your disease." F7 A#m Looked me in the eye, and kissed on my cheek A#m Said "all my life, I've been looking for you. F7 A#m Wondered when the Devil, he would finally come through. A#m Cause there ain't no rest for the Lust and the lies, F7 A#m from this point on scales on your eyes." A#m F A#m F A#m A#m Well I wrestled around in the muck and the mud F7 A#m Seemed like the sun wouldn't shine for quite a while A#m Cause heavy the load, then tend to my feet F7 A#m Trying to find a path that I couldn't see A#m Oh then I cried out form the wilderness, F7 A#m Was it something I did, or something I missed A#m Then I cried, I must confess F With the world gone by, I needed something else. A#m Well, I heard about a man that made the blind man see F7 So, I thought I'd find redemption down on Kickapoo Creek A#m with that muddy water, the river would flow F7 I thought the water was gonna save my soul A#m Then he cried out "I've been walking with you, F7 been wondering when You'd let the light come through, A#m while I, sang for all the loss, Fm its About damn time them scales came falling off." ---- A#m Whoa brother lets go down F7 A#m Down to the river to pray. Oh brother, lets go down F7 A#m Lets go down, won't you come on down Whoa brother, lets go down F7 A#m Down to the river to pray.
