River Of Sin Lyrics - Paradise - The Wood Brothers

the water comes down from the higher ground 

and it's carryin' the sin of man 

we can't help but get thirsty 

down here where the river is damned 

they say good things happen up river 

the river it can wash a man clean 

but down here the water's just dirty 

you can try but it's hard to get up from down stream 

but I'll try again 

I'll paddle up this river of sin 

i'll send up a broken amen 

i'll swallow some pride but i won't be denied 

'cause i'll try again and again

if i had a boat for this river 

i'd find out just what it all means 

i'd go see all those used to be heathens 

come up from the water washed clean 

and i'd wash my own sins in that river 

but i wonder how much more it can bear 

it must be so full of misdoing and shame 

i can't see the bottom from here
