Wade in the water
Wade in the water, children
Wade in the water
God's gonna trouble the water
Wade in the water
Wade in the water, children
Wade in the water
God's gonna trouble the water
I'll tell you one thing and its certainly sure
Wade in the water
It sure is hot in Sacramento
Wade in the water
Wade in the water
Wade in the water, children
Wade in the water
God's gonna trouble the water
I work all day and I work all night
Wade in the water
My personal life has become a fright
Wade in the water
Wade in the water
Wade in the water, children
Wade in the water
God's gonna trouble the water
Transformation is what I need
Wade in the water
But in this heat it's hard to get up speed
Wade in the water
Wade in the water
Wade in the water, children
Wade in the water
God's gonna trouble the water
The river ain't deep enough to swim
Wade in the water
But when it comes to singing I jump right in
Wade in the water
Wade in the water
Wade in the water, children
Wade in the water
God's gonna trouble the water
