It was the hottest day of August
All of of us were down by the banks of the Paint
Rock River
I was next in line to be baptised at the innocent
age of ten
And I’ll never forget, I remember it yet

And I’ll never forget, I remember it yet, the

taste of that clear, pure
water
But that preacher’s words could not be heard, when
she whispered, “ Come
on in”
She said, “Do you...
