gone fishin

lyrics

I went down in the cold March water
You get a line honey and I'll get a pole
We'll go fishing in the old baptizing hole

20 odd years ago somebody died here
Preacher dunked him back and forgot to pull him up
City officials said they could baptize no more

It's a calm, cool, clear night
The trees are screaming your name
This entire valley is flooded with your blood
by your blood
with your blood

I've seen the pictures of the man you call Christ
He's a tall handsome man with baby blue eyes
He's much too pretty to save a wretch like me

I heard a preacher say that in this life,
There are two kinds of people, the have's and have nots
Heaven's only for the perfect, worthless be damned

It's a calm, cool, clear night
The trees are screaming your name
This entire valley is flooded with your blood
by your blood
with your blood

I went down in the cold rushing water
The river washes my sins away
The river carries me away
washes me away
carries me away
