Lyrics
Jump in the water
[Chorus]
You know I've been to the river
Jumped in the water
I tell you brother
If you haven't you oughta
Hey hey
Jump in the water
You gotta jump in the water
Let it wash your blues away
[Verse]
Now I know your game
You like to shuffle the blame
Cant seem to get up the guts
Too many hits on your luck
Not today
You can't keep living this way
Make up your mind
Before you're all out of time
Hey hey
[Chorus]
You know I've been to the river
Jumped in the water
I tell you brother
If you haven't you oughta
Hey hey
Jump in the water
You gotta jump in the water
Let it wash your blues away
Instrumental Break
[Verse]
Now i'll be here on the dock
Waiting till you choose to walk
Ring out the pride my old friend
Before you make your own bed
In the sand
All I can offer's my hand
Make up your mind
Before you' re all out of time
Hey hey
[Chorus]
You know I've been to the river
Jumped in the water
I tell you brother
If you haven't you oughta
