It’s Friday and my bills are due
My 3 month old baby need some shoes
Can you feel what I’m going through
Clock on the wall keeps tickin’ tockin’
No stoppin’ and somebody’s knocking
On the do tellin’ me to go
Brother I can’t take no mo
So with my knees I hit the flo’
And say help me Jesus, help me Jesus
Let’s go down by the riverside
Leave your problems all behind
You can rest troubled minds
Down by the riverside
If I concentrate on all the bad
And all the things I wish I had
How can the dark clouds ever pass
Weeping may endure for a night
But joy comes in the morning light
Gotta keep the spirit right
So no matter what the people say
Ain’t nobody taking this joy away
In spite of everything I’ve been through I can say
Thank you Jesus, Thank you Jesus, Thank you Jesus
Let’s go down by the riverside
Leave your problems all behind
You can rest troubled minds
Down by the riverside
[3 times]
Well, Well, Well
There’s a blessin’ in the water ya’ll
By the riverside, Say what now
There’s a healin’ in the water
By the riverside, Say what now
