"Cold Black Water" lyrics

"Cold Black Water"

Don't you call my name, Peter, don't you dare
I've been treadin' in water, the fever runnin' through my head
And they've said I was the chosen one, I'll make it out alright
Yeah, but I'm thicker than the cold black water down here tonight

And I was just tryin to find a place so I could rest my shoes
Caught a [?], I could still hear them singin' the blues
[?] singin' "Hallelujah" right across my lips
And the colonel of the ole Mississippi dancin' at my hips

Swing low, low, brother, won't you drag that line
Swing low, low, never know what you find
Yeah, boy if they ever try no God, they gotta answer when it comes His time

And when the morning comes
We live with the damage done
Oh, child, look at what you have done
Look at what you have done

Don't you shed no tears for me on that muddy ground
Don't you waste no wine for me when they let me down
Don't you stray down in that wild while trying to see my face
Yeah, you come up baptized tryin' just to find Your Grace

Swing low, low, brother, won't you drag that line
Swing low, low, never know what you find
Yeah, 'cause if they ever try no God, they gotta answer when it comes His time

And when the morning comes
We live with the damage done
Oh, child, look at what you have done
Look at what you have done
Oh, when the evening rain
When the sunshine fades to pain
Dream, brother, don't you call my name
Don't you call my name
