Wade In The Water Lyrics

Wade In The Water Lyrics By The Spirituals

Chorus

Wade in the water we dey

Wade in the water children

Wade in the water

God said He’s gonna trouble the water

Verse 1

We are the sons and the daughters

We gotta stand up and make it loud

Just like our God told the Pharaoh

Let my people go (go)

We are a new generation

From the ones who have gone before

He’s calling us out of bondage

Let my pеople go (go)

Chorus

Wade in the watеr we dey

Wade in the water children

Wade in the water

God said he’s gonna trouble the water

Verse 2

We are the sons and the daughters

We gotta stand up and make it loud

Just like our God told the Pharaoh

Let my people go (go) We are a new generation

From the ones who have gone before

He’s calling us out of bondage

Let my people go (go)

We no go shy no go shake

E be our Papa God wey he make the heavens

If you no say you no want trouble

Let my people go (go)

The blood sweat and the tears

That we’ve gathered through the years

If you no say you no want trouble

Let my people go (go)

Chorus

Wade in the water we dey

Wade in the water children

Wade in the water

God said he’s gonna trouble the water

Bridge

Oh oh oh x3
