(first release, live version minneapolis, december 22, 1961ВЎВєtraditional, arranged by bob dylan) Wade in the water Wade in the water, children Wade in the water God's a-gonna trouble the water God's a-gonna trouble the water. Well, who are these children all dressed in red? God's a-gonna trouble the water Must-a-be the children that moses lead God's a-gonna trouble the water. Wade in the water Wade in the water, children Wade in the water God's a-gonna trouble the water God's a-gonna trouble the water. Well out of the mountain come fire an' smoke God's a-gonna trouble the water Jehovah nobody be he could've spoke God's a-gonna trouble the water. Wade in the water Wade in the water, children Wade in the water God's a-gonna trouble the water God's a-gonna trouble the water. Well, I'm walkin' down the highway an' the water's gettin' low God's a-gonna trouble the water. Walkin' down the highway, nowhere to go God's a-gonna trouble the water. But it's wade in the water Wade in the water, children Wade in the water God's a-gonna trouble the water God's a-gonna trouble the water. God's a-gonna trouble the water.
