Oh child when you are weary
Weary deep down in your soul
Hear my voice rolling like a riverI won′t ever leave you alone
No no no
Ain't no chain gonna hold you down
Ain′t no grave gonna hold you now
Yesterday done came and gone
Ain't it time to bury them bones
Ain't no chain gonna hold you down
Ain′t no grave gonna hold you now
Yesterday done came and gone
Ain′t it time to bury them bones
Oh child when you're in darkness
Them devils circling around
Don′t you go thinking it's hopeless
Takes some getting lost to be found
Oh oh oh oh ohhh
Ain′t no chain gonna hold you down
Ain't no grave gonna hold you now
Yesterday done came and gone
Ain′t it time to bury them bones
Ain't no chain gonna hold you down
Ain't no grave gonna hold you now
Yesterday done came and gone
Ain′t it time to bury them bones
Take me down to the river
Wash me clean in the water
Take me down to the river
Wash me clean in the water
Take me down to the river
Wash me clean in the water
Take me down to the river
Wash me clean in the water
Take me down to the river
Wash me clean in the water
Take me down to the river
Wash me clean in the water
Ain′t no chain gonna hold you down
Ain't no grave gonna hold you now
Yesterday done came and gone
Ain′t it time to bury them bones
Ain't no chain gonna hold you down
Ain′t no grave gonna hold you now
Wash me clean in the water
Yesterday done came and gone
Ohhhh ohhh
Ain't it time to bury them bones
Ain′t no chain gonna hold you down
Ain't no grave gonna hold you now
Take me down
Yesterday done came and gone
Take me down to the river
Ain't it time to bury them bones
Take me down to the river
Wash me clean in the water
Take me down to the river
Wash me clean in the water
