00:00I feel the irons on my wrists And the mountains come to blitz
00:25When I hang from the gallows trees It's just like Julia Mears
00:29I'm not the reddest handed bandit here But I'm the one who'll take the fall
00:34The smoking gun's been smothered by A long, long month alone
00:42Chaplain, since the end has started And your judgement has begun
00:46Friends can't lead to God's forgiveness For all the foolish things you've done
00:51You've got tonight to find some peace of mind Before you leave this world
00:56I hope and pray that I may never get what I deserve
01:00Take me down to the river Please you take me by the hand
01:04Take me down to the river I'm a man with soul, I'm a broken man
01:09Count me in forgiveness Wash these bloodied hands of mine
01:13Take me down to one last river Let me justify
01:18Take me down to the river I'm a man with soul, I'm a broken man
01:21Listen now to that God's benevolence I have seen with my own eyes
01:26In the river just outside the gate Sunday sinners get baptized
01:30I will pray for my redemption But I'm quite sure that he won't hear
01:35I'll never have that wall he crossed Chipper in my ear
01:41The chaplain's face, it grew sadder He said, you've not been christened, son
01:47No, I said, and I hung my head Is there nothing to be done?
01:51If I could get down to that river Can't you see how cleansed I'd be?
01:56I'd lay this lamb in God's hands My soul would be set free
02:00Take me down to the river Please you take me by the hand
02:05Take me down to the river I'm a man with soul, I'm a broken man
02:10Count me in forgiveness Wash these bloodied hands of mine
02:14Take me down to one last river Let me justify
02:19Let me justify
02:35Let me justify
02:54Take me to the river bank To God and the chaplain
02:58Moonlight shines on the holy tides My prayers have been answered
03:02I make my sudden walk to Jesus Oh, piety and grace
03:07The gods release my shackles And I meet my face
03:15The deepest breath that I can take Is I plunge under the water
03:19The chaplain had the kindest ways He could have been a whole lot smarter
03:24Two kicks and I'm traveling Beneath the muddy water's gleam
03:29By the time I take a second breath I'm a hundred yards down the street
03:33Take me down to the river Please you take me by the hand
03:37Take me down to the river I'm a man with soul, I'm a broken man
03:42Count me in forgiveness Wash these bloodied hands of mine
03:46Take me down to one last river Let me justify
03:52Take me down to the river Please you take me by the hand
03:59Take me down to the river I'm a man with soul, I'm a broken man
04:04Count me in forgiveness Wash these bloodied hands of mine
04:08Take me down to one last river Let me justify
04:13Let me justify
04:21Thank you very much, folks. Good night.
