Lyrics Troubled Waters - Helen Merrill, Gil Evans

Troubled Waters

I’m gonna drown
Down in those troubled waters
They’re creepin' round my soul
They’re way beyond control
And they’ll wash my sins away before the mornin'
They say that I am one of the devil’s daughters
They look at me with scorn
I’ll never hear that one
I’ll be underneath the water judgment mornin'
Oh Lord, am I to blame?
Must I hang my head in shame?
What people go round scandalisin' my name?
I’m gonna drown
Down in those troubled waters
They’re creepin' round my soul
They’re way beyond control
And they’ll wash my sins away before the morn'
Troubled waters
