Printed in J Silverman, American History Songbook Nick has sung his version of this song live
(Chorus)
Wade in the water
Wade in the water, children
Wade in the water
God's gonna trouble the water

Jordon's water is chilly and cold
God's gonna trouble the water
It chills the body, but not the soul
God's gonna trouble the water

If you get there before I do
God's gonna trouble the water
Tell all of my friends I'm coming too
God's gonna trouble the water
