Found myself down by a river
It was swollen in flood
Got no way below it
Got no bridge above
Ain't no way to get around
Guess I'll have to swim
You know that waters deep
And the hounds are closing in
Thunder cross the mountain
Lightning cross the sea
Of one thing I am certain
Deep water, waits for me
Deep Water
Well I walked down to that river
Thinking all would be lost
Black water staring out
Daring any man to cross
Just one way to get around
That's sink or swim
You know that waters deep
And the hounds are closing in
Thunder cross the mountain
Lightning cross the sea
Of one thing I am certain
Deep water, waits for me
Deep water
Deep water
Deep water
Thunder cross the mountain
Lightning cross the sea
Of one thing I am certain
Deep water, waits for me
Deep water
Deep water
Deep water
Deep water
Deep water
