lyrics

Verse 1:
Mama said to hurry
Mama said don’t you wait
Mama said you better get going
Cause girl your always so damn late
Verse 2:
Papa said it’s the one place
Where you can put your faith
Papa knows what he's saying
Cause preachers don’t mess with fate
So girl when you’ve lost your way

CHORUS:
Let's go down to the river darling
Where you’ve been lost and found
Down to the river child
When you are needing holy, needing holy
Down to the river darling
Where you’ve been lost and found
Down to the river child
When you were needing, needing holy ground

Verse 3:
But please don’t worry mama
I'm gonna find my way
The good Lord knows when I need Him
I’ll find my knees and start to pray
And I'll here you say
Let's go down

CHORUS:
Let's go down to the river darling
Where you’ve been lost and found
Down to the river child
When you are needing holy, needing holy
Down to the river darling
Where you’ve been lost and found
Down to the river child
When you were needing, needing holy ground

BRIDGE:
Lets go down
Down
Lets go down
Down

CHORUS:
Let's go down to the river darling
Where you’ve been lost and found
Down to the river child
When you are needing holy, needing holy
Down to the river darling
Where you’ve been lost and found
Down to the river child
When you were needing, needing holy ground
