 Dm                            Am
I was raised in the house of a real holy roller
         G                          Dm
Warning people bout the ways of the sin
        Dm                   Am
He said go out yonder to the water and travel
       G                          Dm
Cause disciples they fishers and men
      G                   Am         Dm
Yeah disciples they were fishers and men

So I got me a job on the first boat rowin'
And it's been a mighty long time
Since I sat in the house of my father and my mother
Or I seen that woman of mine
Yeah that good lovin' gal of mine

I said babe I'm a-goin' on a little bitty journey
I'll be back when the fishin' is through
While I'm waitin' in case get ready
For when Jesus comes for you
When the Good Lord comes for you
When Jesus comes for you
Here it comes

Chorus:
        Dm       Am
Saying shall we gather by the water,
     G         Dm
the beautiful water
 Dm       Am
Shall we gather by the water that
  G                      Dm
flows from the throne of god

Truth it lies in the love of a woman
Lord don't sink this boat
I got a pretty little thing waitin' in New Orleans
With a dagger by her throat
She don't wanna do it but she's that crazy
And if I don't make it back
She'll probably die alone and cold
As the creole night turns black
