Wade in de water
Wade in de water children
Wade in de water
God�s gonna trouble de water
Joshua fit de battle of Jericho
Jericho, Jericho
Joshua fit de battle of Jericho
And de walls come tumblin� down
Sometimes I feel like a motherless child
Sometimes I feel like a motherless child
Sometimes I feel like a motherless child
A long way from home
Soon I will be done-a with the troubles of the world
The troubles of the world
The troubles of the world
Soon I will be done-a with the troubles of the world
Going home to live with God
The song builds up from Joshua, then Wade, then Motherless child, then Soon I will be done. A top part is sung by a solo soprano. Repeat parts as indicated by the conductor.
