Bill Monroe Baptize Me In The Cumberland River
Baptize Me in the Cumberland River
Baptize me in the Cumberland River
Let old Satan look at me
Brother Johnny let me down quickly
for the Lord is calling me.
Chorus:
Oh praise the Lord, glory hallilueah
The Heavenly lights are shining on me.
Baptize me in the Cumberland River
wash my sins out to the sea.
Standing by the old Cumberland River
My friend on earth is harmony
and I walk out into deep water
and I go down she's praying for me.
Chorus
Lord I want to walk in your footsteps
I'm gonna stand close by your side.
While here on earth I'll be your helper.
The truth I'll tell and never lie.
