Lyrics

(First release, live version minneapolis, december 22, 1961—traditional, arranged by bob dylan)

Wade in the water
Wade in the water, children
Wade in the water
God's gonna trouble the water
God's gonna trouble the water

Well, who are these children all dressed in red?
God's gonna trouble the water
Must be the children that moses lead
God's gonna trouble the water

Wade in the water
Wade in the water, children
Wade in the water
God's gonna trouble the water
God's gonna trouble the water

Well out of the mountain come fire an' smoke
God's gonna trouble the water
Jehovah nobody be he could've spoke
God's gonna trouble the water

Wade in the water
Wade in the water, children
Wade in the water
God's gonna trouble the water
God's gonna trouble the water

Well, I'm walkin' down the highway an' the water's gettin' low
God's gonna trouble the water
Walkin' down the highway, nowhere to go
God's gonna trouble the water

But it's wade in the water
Wade in the water, children
Wade in the water
God's gonna trouble the water
God's gonna trouble the water
God's gonna trouble the water
