Lyrics Blood, Sweat & Tears

Blood, Sweat & Tears

John The Baptist

Holy John lives down by the water

Bathing sinners and he wants your daughter

Telling people that they'd better repent

Telling your daughter it was him who was sent

I saw him down there in a long white gown

Taking sinners and holding them down

John, John, won't you wash 'em away

Make us ready for the Judgment Day

Take us down and hold us under

Make the Heavens roar with thunder now

The waters are dirty and the reason is

Holy John had to wash away our sins, yes he did

He came to town two weeks ago

Didn't take long before everyone did know

Down to the riverside they all did flock

To watch him stand upon the rock, yeah

I saw him down there in a long white gown

Taking sinners and holding them down

John, John, won't you wash 'em away

Make us ready for the Judgment Day

Take us down and hold us under

Make the Heavens roar with thunder now

The waters are dirty and the reason is

Holy John had to wash away our sins, oh yes he did

'Can't you see that the waters are dirty

And everybody knows that the reason is

Holy John has to wash away, wash away

Wash away everybody's sins
