I tip my hat to the lady in red
You won't believe what she just said
She said 'Take me down to the water'
I tip my hat to the lady in blue
You won't believe what she done do
She went and, she went down to the water
Whoa, won't you save
Whoa, come make me clean
Whoa
Wash my hands, wash my hands in the water
I tip hat to my son on the sea
He been sailing off away from me
He went, he went down on down to the water
I tip hat to the lady of love
And the man she's trying to get rid of
And it seems to be a little bit harder
Whoa, won't you save
Whoa, come make me clean
Whoa
Wash my hands, wash my hands in the water
Whoa, won't you save
Whoa, come make me clean
Whoa
Wash my hands, wash my hands in the water
I tip my hat to the lady in black
And I told her I'm not coming back
So she went on down to another man
And when she came back in with the devil in hand
I saw the look in her eye and it was very clear
That she won't go down, she won't go down
Whoa, won't you save
Whoa, come make me clean
Whoa
Wash my hands, wash my hands in the water
Whoa, won't you save
Whoa, come make me clean
Whoa
Wash my hands, wash my hands
I said wash my hands, wash my hands
In the water, yeah
