Jailhouse Religion Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Here we are now darling
Better stop praying to your rosary
Broke down in Church Point
Bag of medicine on your knee

[Pre-Chorus]
Waiting on Johnny Law to come down here
Put the cuffs on you and me

[Chorus]
So I sing;
Jesus gonna wash me in the water
Jesus gonna wash me in the water

[Verse 2]
Lord, if you get me out of this
Well, I promise I'll live for you
Heading to the station
Riding with a man in blue
With a cord apppointed future
And nothing really left to lose

[Chorus]
So I sing;
Jesus gonna wash me in the water
Jesus gonna wash me in the water
Jesus gonna wash me in the water [Interlude]

[Verse 3]
Waiting on the warden
But my commoners seem too strong
Pro boy don't like me
Saying son "where did you go wrong?"
Ain't no time to get set up
I gotta get myself back home

[Chorus]
So we sing;
Jesus gonna wash me in the water
Jesus gonna wash me in the water
Jesus gonna wash me in the water
Jesus gonna wash me in the water
Jesus gonna wash me in the water (all day long)
Jesus gonna wash me in the water (all day long)
Jesus gonna wash me in the water (all night long)
Jesus gonna wash me in the water (all night long)
