lyrics

like a good christian daughter
i went down in the river to pray
but no matter how hard i tried
i couldn’t wash that sin away


like my mama always told me
hide your figure hide your shame
so i clung my robes about me tight
but they looked on anyway


as i waded in that river
the water rose up cold and strong
daddy pulled me deeper to his side
i could feel him twist my arm


i was swallowed by the current
and their prayers were bearing down
but no matter how hard they tried
i decided not to drown
