Lord Knows Lyrics

Went down to the river

With my heart in hand

They call me a sinner

But they don't understand

'Cos Lord knows that I follow the river

Knows if my soul he'll deliver

Knows that I try and I try and I try and I try and I try

Search for salvation

In the delta mud

I'm writing to the preacher

I'm gonna sign it with my blood

'Cos Lord knows that I follow the river

Knows if my soul he'll deliver

Knows that I try and I try and I try and I try and I try

Dear Lord can you hear?

Yeah, you know how I feel

I can't find no redemption

Guess it's time to make a deal

Knows that I follow the river

Knows if my soul he'll deliver

Knows that I try and I try and I try and I try and I try

Knows that I follow the river

Knows if my soul he'll deliver

Knows that I try and I try and I try and I try and I try

Knows that I follow the river

Knows if my soul he'll deliver

Knows that I try and I try and I try and I try and I try
