Joe joe joe
Where do you go
I'm going to wash my sins away
An angel told me so
When they find me in the river
Tell my mother I was a good boy
I'm light as a leaf
An angel holding hands with me
No sign of sorrow
No sign of grief
When they find me in the river
Tell my mother I was a good boy
Joe folds his clothes
And goes wading in
The birds are singing in the trees
There singing for me
When they find me in the river
Tell my mother I was a good boy
