It's Friday and my bills are due
  My 3 month old baby need some shoes
  Can you feel what I'm going through
  Clock on the wall keeps tickin' tockin'
  No stoppin' and somebody's knockin
  On the do tellin' me to go
  Brotha I can't take no mo
  So with my knees I hit the flo'
  And say help me Jesus, help me Jesus
    Let's go down by the riverside
  Leave your problems all behind
  You can rest troubled minds
  Down by the riverside
    If I concentrate on all the bad
  And all the things I wish I had
  How can the dark clouds ever pass
  Weeping may endure for a night
  But joy comes in the morning light
  God he keeps me right
  So no matter what the people say
  Ain't nobody takin this joy away
  In spite of all I've been through I can say
  Thank you Jesus, Thank you Jesus, Thank you Jesus
    Let's go down by the riverside
  Leave your problems all behind
  You can rest troubled minds
  Down by the riverside
  [3 times]
    Well, Well, Well
    There's a blessin' in the water ya'll
  By the riverside, Say what now
  There's a healin' in the water
  By the riverside, Say what now
