CHILLY WATERS- Jubilee Singers 1883
1. Chilly water, chilly water,
Hallelujah to that Lamb.
I know that water is chilly and cold,
And-a Hallelujah to that Lamb.
CHORUS: Chilly water, chilly water,
Hallelujah to that Lamb,
I have Jesus in-a my soul,
And-a Hallelujah to the Lamb.
2. In-a that ark, the little dove mourned,
And hallelujah to that Lamb.
Christ Jesus standing as the corner stone,
And hallelujah to the Lamb.
3. Old Satan's just like a snake in the grass,
And hallelujah to the Lamb,
Watching for to bite you as a-you pass,
And hallelujah to that lamb.
4. Oh, brothers and sisters, one and all,
And hallelujah to the Lamb,
You had better be ready when the roll is called,
And hallelujah to the Lamb.
