Holy John lives down by the water Savin' sinners and he wants your dollar Tell the people that they'd better repent Tellin' your daughter it was him who was sent I saw him down there in a long white gown Takin' sinners and holdin' them down John, John, won't you wash 'em away? Make us ready for the judgement day Take us down and hold us under Make the Heavens roar with thunder, now The waters are dirty and the reason is Holy John had to wash away our sins Yes he did He came to town, two weeks ago Didn't take long before everyone did know Down to the riverside, they all did flock And watch him stand upon the rock I saw him down there in a long white gown Takin' sinners and holdin' them down John, John, won't you wash 'em away? Make us ready for the judgement day Take us down and hold us under Make the Heavens roar with thunder, now The waters are dirty and the reason is Holy John had to wash away our sins Oh yes he did Ooh can't you see that the water's dirty And everybody knows that the reason is Holy John has to wash away, wash away Wash away everybody's sins |
