Holy Water Dr. John

Holy water running through my veins
Gonna cross myself, keep trying to change
Mercy on me in my hour of need
Holy water here I go godspeed

I can hear my momma saying boy whatcha doing
You don't change, you go straight to ruin
Think you know a thing, too bluing
Remember this, just keep on moving

Holy water running through my veins
Cure my ills, make me well again
Have mercy on me in my hour of need
Holy water, here I go godspeed

Momma cried in the courtroom that day
Saw her boy who used to laugh and play
Shoved through the door, with my hands tied
When the jury spoke I was given the time

Holy water running through my veins
Gonna cross myself, try to change
Mercy on me in my hour of need
Holy water here I go godspeed

Holy water running through my veins
Cure my ills, make me well again
I cross myself, heal my sins
Holy water from the outside in
