Listen up all you beggars, you liars and you thieves
I'm about to bring you something that’s gonna take you to your knees
You know that I could never let you down
When you feel the might and you hear that old soul sound
You’ve been waiting on the wind
You’ve been waiting on the winds of change to blow your sails into the night
But all you do is sit and cry
You got to go down to the river and wash your soul clean
You got to go down to the river and wash your soul clean
You got to go down to the river and wash your soul clean
You got to go down to the river and wash your soul clean
What you want, you ain’t got
What you got is all that you need
What you want, you ain’t got
What you got is all that you need
You got to go down to the river and wash your soul clean
You got to go down to the river and wash your soul clean
You got to go down to the river and wash your soul clean
You got to go drown in the river and wash your soul clean
