I'm gonna lay down my burden
Down by the riverside
Down by the river
Down by the riverside
I'm gonna lay down my burden
Down by the riverside
Study war no more
Been traveling these wide roads for so long
My heart's been far from you
Ten-thousand miles gone
Oh, I wanna come here and give you
Every part of me
But there's blood on my hands
And my lips are unclean
In my darkness, I remember
Mama's words reoccur to me
Surrender to the good Lord
And he'll wipe your slate clean
Take me to your river
I wanna go
Take me to your river
I wanna know
Dip me in your smooth waters
I'm going
As a man with many crimes
Come up for air
As my sins flow down the Jordan
Oh, I wanna come near and give you
Every part of me
But there's blood on my hands
And my lips are unclean
Take me to your river
I wanna go
Take me to your river
I wanna know
Wanna go, wanna go, wanna go
Wanna know, wanna know, wanna know
Wanna go, wanna go, wanna go
Wanna know, wanna know, wanna know
Wanna go, wanna go, wanna go
Wanna know, wanna know, wanna know
Take me to your river
I wanna go
Lord, please let me know
Take me to your river
I wanna know
Take me to your river
I wanna go
Take me to your river
I wanna know

I'm gonna lay down my burden
Down by the riverside
Down by the river
Down by the riverside
I'm gonna lay down my burden
Down by the riverside
Study war no more
Been traveling these wide roads for so long

Take me to your river
