From the recording Jewish Blues V.1
“If there is trouble ahead in your life and you want change into your life, walk
into it…wade in the water it’s gonna be troubled water.”
This song is essentially the call to action in your life that the waters of life are
troubled and that we learn and grow the most from those things that test us. The folk
music tradition is an ever evolving tradition that grows every time the song is sung. If
you could add a verse in this song, what would it be?

“Wade in the Water” Lyrics
Wade in the Water
Wade in the Water, children
wade in the Water
God's gonna trouble the Water
Who's that yonder dressed in red
Must be the Children that Moses led
And God's gonna trouble the Water
Wade in the Water
Wade in the Water, children
wade in the Water
God's gonna trouble the Water
Who's that yonder dressed in white
Must be the Children of the Israelites
God's gonna trouble the Water
Wade in the Water
Wade in the Water, children
wade in the Water
God's gonna trouble the Water
Who's that yonder dressed in blue
Must be Children coming through
And God's gonna trouble the Water
Wade in the Water
Wade in the Water, children
wade in the Water
God's gonna trouble the Water
Who are those people dressed in black
It’s must be the hypocrites turning back
God's gonna trouble the Water
