Capo on fret 4

I heard about that holy water,

and that if I drank that holy water

I would live forever in the

G
sky

But though I searched for holy water,

I never found that holy water, but I

thought that I might drink it when I

G	D7
die

I was just a lad when I

heard that

D
story

of paradise with its

dreams of

D
glory

So I went

down

to the river

C
Jordan

hoping that

I might be

G	D7
baptised

But when I

arrived

at the river

C
Jordan

that holy

river had run

G	D7
dry

I've heard songs of holy water

and sermons abouyt holy water

and how we might swim in it by and

G
by

The preached bottled holy water

and tried to sell us holy water

	D
but	then he winked and I knew it was a

G	D7
lie

Now I am older

think I was

D
deluded

about the things that I

hoped to

D
find

So I went

down

to the river

C
Jordan

and said I wanted

to be

G	D7
baptised

But when I

arrived

at the river

C
Jordan

that holy

river had run

G	D7
dry

Well there's been a drought of hioy water

there's been no rain of holy water

There's been nothing falling from the

G
sky

So I can't drink that holy water

no ones seen that holy warter

all the streams and well have run

G	D7
dry
